Chords with lyrics

D, D7D7
Well...let me put it like this.
  G+G      E7E7
In any great adventure,
   Am7Am7    D7D7   G+G
that you don't want to lose,
    E minor 7Em7       A7A7       D MajorD
victory depends upon the poeple that you choose.
  C majorC       G/BG/B   Am7Am7   D7D7   G+G
So, listen, Arthur darling, closely to this news:
  C majorC        G/BG/B
We won't succeed on Broadway,
    A7A7          D MajorD
If you don't have any Jews.
    G+G
You may have the finest sets,
Fill the stage with penthouse pets,
              G#dim7G#dim7      Am7Am7   D7D7
You may have the loveliest costumes and best shoes.
    Am7Am7        D7D7
You my dance and you may sing,
    Am7Am7      D7D7
But I'm sorry, Arthur king,
    Am7Am7
You'll hear no cheers,
   D7D7
Just lots and lots of boos.
G+G
Boo.
                G7G7
You mahve have butch men by the score
     C majorC
Whom the audience adore,
C/Bb  A7A7             D MajorD   C/EC/E
You may even have some animals from zoos,
D7/F#D7/F#     G+G        G7/B
Though you've Poles and krauts instead,
    C majorC       Eb/Db
You may have unlevened bread,
   G/DG/D G#dim7G#dim7    E MajorE
But I tell you, you are dead,
E7/G# A7A7     D7D7 G+G
If you don't have any Jews.

G#dim7G#dim7 D7/F#D7/F# G+G  D MajorD

   G+G
They won't care if it's witty,
or everything looks pretty,
            G#dim7G#dim7    Am7Am7   D7D7
They'll simply say it's sh*tty and refuse.
Am7Am7     D7D7
Nobody will go, sir,
Am7Am7     D7D7   Am7Am7      D7D7
If it's not kosher then no show, sir,
   Am7Am7      D7D7      G+G
Even Goyem won't be dim enough to choose!
              D7/A
Put on shows that make men stare,
   G7/B  C majorC
With lots of girls in underwear,
    A7A7             D MajorD
You may even have the finest of reviews.
E minor 7Em7 add4 D/F#D/F#
You're doing great!
  G+G          G7/B
The audience won't care, sir,
  C majorC         Eb/Db
As long as you don't dare, sir,
To open up on Broadway
A7A7   D7D7      G+G
If you don't have any Jews.

G+G    C majorC
You may have dramatic lighting,
Or lots of horrid fighting,
            C#dim7C#dim7       Dm7Dm7     G7#9
You may even have some white men sing the blues!
   Dm7Dm7          G7G7
Your knights might be nice boys,
   Dm7Dm7       G7G7
But sadly we're all goys,
     Dm7Dm7         G7G7        C majorC
And that noise that you call singing you must lose.
            Dm7Dm7
So, despite your pretty lights,
  C7/EC7/E  FF
and naughty girls in nasty tights,
    D MajorD       Em7(add4) D7/F#D7/F# G7G7   F/AF/A
and the most impressive scenery you use...
  Bdim7Bdim7  C majorC    C7/EC7/E
You may have dancing mana-mano,
    FF      Ab/Gb
You may bring on a piano,
     C/GC/G    G#dim7G#dim7  A7A7
But they will not give a  damn-o
A7/C# D7D7     G7G7 C majorC
If you don't have any Jews!

Bridge
E7E7 A7A7 A7/C# D7D7 G7G7 C majorC F minorFm C minorCm

G7G7   C minorCm
You may fill your play with gays,
   G+G
Have Nigerian girls in stays,
                   C minorCm
You may even have some schizas making stews!
  F minorFm
You haven't got a clue,
  C minorCm
If you don't have a Jew,
    D7D7                 G7G7
All of your investments you are going to lose!
     C majorC
There's a very small percentile,
   F minorFm
Who enjoys a dancing gentile,
   D7D7               G+G
I'm sad to be the one with this bad news!
  C majorC        C7/EC7/E
But never mind your swordplay,
     FF        Ab/Gb
You just won't succeed on Broadway,
     C/GC/G  G#dim7G#dim7   A7A7
You just won't succeed on Broadway,
A7/C# D7D7     G7G7 C majorC
If you don't have any Jews!
