The sarcasm is overlooked. They still don't have shit!

I knew this song by heart when I was a kid. We had the Broadway Album

[@mkspangenberg]

This is one of my all time favorite Broadway tunes and shows. I love it as my local union rep too but I love it because it is just so wonderful anyway. I would suggest, "Steam Heat" and Hernando's Hideaway for fantastic dancing numbers.

There’s a movie? I was searching for the musical lyrics and found this.

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

Only five years from today/ Five years from today/ If we never get promoted/ Only five years from today...
Only ten years from today/ Ten years from today/ Not allowing for inflation/ Only ten years from today...
Only twenty years from today/ Twenty years from today/ If the factory is still open/ Only twenty years from today...
It's still a great show, and the movie does it justice.

A great show

[@LandondeeL]

The MPPC at the time wouldn't allow them to say "a hell of a lot", as in the Broadway original. Why couldn't they sing in the movie "an awful lot"? At least it scanned better.

"First Socialist Operetta' in the endearing 1950's review by French director Jean-Luc Godard.

[@coloraturaElise]

"I figured it out....with a pencil and a pad, I figured it out!" And then they proceed to figure it out...again? And then, since they had figured out 5 years, they only had to multiply it by 2 to get "ten years from today....." and double that to get "twenty years from today."
