    he is always watching the bootlegers which for me is more uncomfortable than screaming to bootlegers

    His aroma wasn’t aromatic
    His diploma says he’s smart but dumb
    Quite the opposite of too emphatic
    And I think he lacked a thumb
    He was furry, he was frail
    He was curiously pale and jaundice in the nose
    Where a big carbuncle grows
    He was a moron
    He made me laugh like the dickens
    He had a steal plate in his head
    A funny moron
    But he had a way with chickens
    His name was Fred
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la
    La la la la
    Frequently he’d feed his roosters
    Frequently he’d clean their stalls
    Just to prove he loved his roosters
    He’d kiss them on the balls
    Unambitious, under trained
    Nonetheless he still remained amusing more than odd
    A divertissement from god
    A little looney
    After reading Jean Paul Sartre
    He'd tie one on and go to bed
    LOVED Mickey Rooney
    But he hated Frank Sinatra
    His name was Fred
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la
    La la la la
    Then he caught a chicken disease
    Called cockadoodlitis
    A rare form of phlebitis
    Which a human being had never caught before
    He had all america
    Outside his door
    Then, by god, Fred started growing chicken feet!
    He aquired a chicken boy named seth
    He grew feathers, he would not eat chicken meat
    Then he pecked himself to death
    In the casket fred looked fried
    I’m sure the undertaker tried to humanise the man
    But that wasn’t in the plan
    He was a moron!
    He made me laugh like the dickens
    He had a steal plate in his head
    A funny moron
    But he had a way with chickens
    His name was fred
    His name was- fred
    A little looney
    After reading gene paul sertreen he’d tie one on and go to bed
    LOVED mickey rooney!
    But he hated frank senairtra - Ah!
    He name was fred
    His name was fred
    His name was fred
    His name was-
    Bock! Sorry ha- bock bock bock, bock bock bock bock bock bock bock bocka! Bock bock bock bock bock bock bock

      He's a great actor in general. I'm glad I got to see him on Broadway in the giant flop "Tammy Faye" before it closes, because Borle was great as Jim Bakker (the leads were all excellent, esp Borle as Bakker and my old friend Michael Cerveris as the very evil Jerry Falwell). The problem was the show's book, and the production wasn't helped by the fact that of Elton John's songs, there isn't even one memorable or standout song (there is nothing close to a "Circle of Life" in that score). So, with a ton of bad reviews and awful word of mouth, after starting previews in mid Oct, the show announced weeks ago that it is planning to close.
      I wouldn't recommend spending time seeing it unless tickets are heavily discounted *and* the person considering seeing the show is such a big fan of Borle and Cerveris that he's happy to see anything either of those two are in, regardless of quality (not every show is going to be brilliant like "Starcatcher" or "Fun Home": great actors end up in plenty of awful productions, too!).

      @@joshuakohlmann9731 It wasn't a reject. The rest of the show is brilliant, but "Fred" just wasn't included in the cast recording (a few other songs were cut from the recording, too).
      Keep in mind that the recording was made back when people wanted recordings to fit on (ideally) a single compact disc (otherwise they'd need a second disc for the cast album, which was expensive to produce).
      So, if there were too many songs to fit on one disc - as there are in "Elegies" - cuts would be made to the recording, if not to the show as performed.
