Somewhat Overindulgent lyrics
Tim Murnin
As requested, here are the lyrics for "Somewhat Overindulgent" from Forbidden
Broadway. If you didn't catch my original post, this was a humorous look at
various Broadway shows and performers. It is intended to be a satirical look
at Mandy's vocal stylings, so please don't take it seriously!!
Sung by a Patinkin impersonator to the tune of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow":
My name is Mandy
Mandy Child Patinkin
and I've been thinkin
that I might be known more -
as a male Chanteuse
So if you like my 20 songs on CD
you should come and see me
every night
Dressing casual and loose
(with emphasis)
AND TURNING ON THE JUICE....
while emoting like a goo-oose
Somewhat Overindulgent
Like I'm high,
I in-terpret a lyr-ic
like - I'm about - to die.
Somewhat Overindulgent
I sing blue
and you won't recognize the tune -
after I get through.
Someday I'll do a one-man show
and sing Jolson songs like Ole Black Joe
and Matamee.
I'll emphasize most every word
and twitter like a little bird
to prove I'M HAMMY.
SOMEWHAT OVERINDULGENT -
watch me cry (Are you watchin' me cry, mama?)
Barbra did in Yentl
Why then, oh why, can't I?
If Barbra Streisand gets to be -
Beyond Indulgent
Why, oh why, not me?
From Forbidden Broadway, Volume 2, DRG Records, 1991.
Sung by Kevin Ligon
Most of the other songs are just as good, but quite a few have references to
events that may be difficult to remember (particularly if you don't keep up on
the Broadway scene).
