'Oh what a rogue and peasant slave...' by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller:
I ain't nothin' but a hound dog
And a rogue is what I is,
But this actor makes it seem like
He is in a total tizz.
He's a weepin' over Hec'ba -
Though she ain't no friend of his.
I'm supposed to be high-classed
But I just deserve to swing.
Still, I got myself a notion
That maybe the play's the thing.
Me I ain't never caught a rabbit
But I might just catch a king.
