Hmm ... is that something that was added to a revival production? I was quoting a line of dialogue, not a lyric, but it *is* Mae Peterson from Bye Bye Birdie ("I just want a simple stone, with one word carved on it: Albert's Mother.")

It was a song added for the TV version with Jason Alexander a few years back. Tyne Daly (my favorite Momma Rose from my various "Gypsy" recordings) was the put-upon mom.

That's "Turn Back, O Man" from Godspell--the words are actually a hymn written by Clifford Bax.

Ah, my favorite song from Camelot! "Fie On Goodness", sung by the Chorus of Knights. (unfortunately, it doesn't appear in *all* versions of the show ... )

That's correct. It was, for whatever reason, omitted from the 1967 film (which I dislike anyway). I saw it in a stage production once and nearly laughed out of my seat.
