Betrayed (Vocal)

Betrayed - Nathan Lane

Just like Cain and Abel

You pulled a sneak attack

I thought that we were brothers

Then you stabbed me in the back

Betrayed

Oh boy I'm so betrayed

Like Samson and Delilah

Your love began to fade

I'm crying in the hoosegow

You're in Rio getting laid

Betrayed

Let's face it I'm betrayed

Boy have I been taken

Oy I'm so forsaken

I should have seen what came to pass

I should have known to watch my a**

I feel like Othello

Everything is lost

Leo is Iago

Max is double crossed

I'm so dismayed

Did I mention I'm betrayed

I used to be the king

But now I am the fool

A canptine abbout a shift

How the by goodbye the shold

Now I'm about to go to jail

There's no one who will pay my bail

I have no one who I can cry to

No one I can say goodbye to

I'm drowning

I'm drowning here

I'm going down for the last time

I I I see my whole

Life flashing before my eyes

I see a weathered old farmhouse

With a white picket fence

I'm running through fields of

Alfalfa with my collie

Rex no rex not on the alfalfa

And I see my mother standing

On the back porch

In a worn but clean gingham gown

And I hear her

Calling out to me

Alvin don't forget your chores

The wood needs

A cordin and the cows need a milkin'

Alvin Alvin wait a minute

My name's not Alvin

That's not my life

I'm not a hillbilly

I grew up in the Bronx

Leo's taken everything

Even my past

My past's a dying ember

But wait now I remember

How did it begin

He walked into my office

With his c***amamie scheme

You can make more money

With a flop than with a hit

We can do it we can do it

I can't do it

We can do it

I can't do it

Goodbye Max

Lord I want that money

I'm back Max

Come on Leo we can do it

Step one find the play

See it swirl it touch it kiss it

Hello Mister Liebkind

Guten tag hop clop

Guten tag hop clop

Adolf Elizabeth Hitler

Guten tag hop clop

Guten tag hop clop

Step two hire the director

Keep it gay keep it gay keep it

Two three kick turn

Turn turn kick turn

Ulla

Oooh wah wah woo woo wah wah

Step three raise the money

Along came Bialy

Intermission

Step four hire all the actors

A wandering minstrel I

A think of shreds and

Next the little wooden boy

Next that's our Hitler

Opening night

Good luck good luck good luck

Break a leg I broke my leg

Springtime for Hitler and Germany

A surprise smash

Springtime for Hitler and Germany

It'll run for years

Where did we go right

Where did we go right

Gimme those books

Fat fat fatty

Gimme those books

Fat fat fatty

Books fat

Books fat

Books fat

Books fat

Lousy fruit

Kill the actors

You ever eat with one

Then you ran to Rio

And you're safely out of reach

I'm behind these bars

You're banging Ulla on the beach

Just like Julius Caesar

Was betrayed by Brutus

Who'd think an accountant

Would turn out to be my Judas

I'm so dismayed

Is this how I'm repaid

To be

Betrayed
