I see a line of beautiful girls dressed as stormtroopers each one a gem. With leather boots and whips on their hips. It's risque, dare I say, S&M! I see German soldiers dancing through France played by chorus boys in very tight pants. And wait there's more! THEY WIN THE WAR! And the dances they do will be daring and new. Turn turn kick turn, turn turn kick turn, one two three kick turn! Keep it sassy, keep it classy, keep it...

Roger De Bris [sung as Hitler]
I was just a paper hanger
no one more obscurer.
Got a phone call from the Reichstag
told me I was Führer.
Germany was blue
What, oh, what to do?
Hitched up my pants
and conquered France.
Now Deutschland's smiling through!
It ain't no mystery
if it's politics or history.
The thing you've got to know is
everything is showbiz!
Roger De Bris [sung]

Listen Roger, did you get a chance yet to read "Springtime for Hitler?"
Roger De Bris Read it? I devoured it! It's loaded with historical goodies. I for one, for instance, never realized that the Third Reich meant Germany.
Yeah, how 'bout that? Then you'll do it?
Roger De Bris Do it? Of course not.
Roger De Bris [Music starts] [sung]
The theatre's so obsessed
With dramas so depressed
It's hard to sell a ticket on Broadway
Shows should be more pretty
Shows should be more witty
Shows should be more...
Roger De Bris [spoken]
What's the word?
Gay?
