Act 1: The Name's La Guardia - Tom Bosley/Chor lyrics
(My friends! I want each and everyone of you to take a long deep breath like this - breathing - You know what that smell is?, Tammany!. They've been stinking up this district long enough!. It´s time to get the garbage off the door step and I got the shovel to do it with!)
(Your vote! Come election day, put that pencil cross next to the name of Fiorello H. LaGuardia! L-A-G-U-A-R-D-I-A!)
Now here's another name!
T-A-M-M-A-N-Y! What's that?
(Tammany!)
(Wrong! the answer's Tyranny!
Tammany spells Tyranny like R-A-T spells rat!)
Now, there's a double "m" in Tammany, and there's a double
"l" in gall, just like the double-dealing, double-crossing, double-talking, double-dyed duplicity of Tammany Hall!
But you can change it all, go use the ballot box.
And cast your spell come next Election Day.
The name's LaGuardia: L-A-G-U-A-R-D-I-A!
[Italian]
Attenti! [Attenti!]
[Yiddish]
Ich bin LaGuardia!
Das ist:
lamed, alef, giml, alef, rayesh,
daled, yud, ayin;
Die vergiss dass nicht!
Ich sog' zu einen "Tammany ess nie ist kosher!"
