Well now that I added the lyrics, if you see the show this song kind of loses it's effect, but I had to. I love musicals and I know that a lot of time a song is added just for a big cheesy dance number. So I assumed that when the emcee walked out with a Gorilla (dressed as a girl) that it would be a fun dance number. But altough the song seems cheerful it has a very serious undertone to it. And when I saw this show and the emcee sang the last line I got the biggest chill down my spine. It was stated blatantly, but it's effect rang through out the theatre.
