Analysis of The Movie Producers (by mel brooks)



So the guy with

The briefcase does numbers

And the one with the scarf

Some old broads.

Who write cheques just

To bankroll a stage play.

Where they get to

Sit up with “the gods”.

First to get confidence

To the boiling.

Here’s the scheme

That your books

There’s a formula in

Profit from losers?

Pay much in.

Get more out, any day.

So the script must be corny

And the songs must be horribly cooked.

Add bright lights and some

Columnist’s smears in the rag  tag.

Theyll be richer than Croesus
