All About Ruprecht Original Broadway Cast of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Ft. John Lithgow, Norbert Leo Butz & Sara Gettelfinger)

[LAWRENCE, spoken]
You see, my dear...

(sung)
Every royal family, by its nature
Has a sort of price that it must pay
Every noble lineage has
One loose gene
Small as a molecule
Flitting 'round the family pool

It's the sort of thing
One sees in Appalachia
Or in the odd inbred bichon frise
It really can be such a
Nasty stain on the escutcheon
When a wisp of DNA
Begins to fray, then goes astray

Caligula had the temper
The Hapsburgs had the chin
George the Third went cuckoo-bird
And Nero had that violin
Richard, you'll remember
Had the hump and the withered limb
The Bushes of Tex
Were nervous wrecks
Because their son was dim
But look what happened to him!
