Mmm. This works best for Sobbin' Women, where the lead singer is supposed to be a clueless idiot. His advice totally backfires in typical broad musical comedy ways.

It works somewhat in The Fantasticks, but the messages of that show are somewhat more subtle.

If it is the case at all in Nunsense, if there is a gentle satire of the condescending attitudes of Catholic charities intended, for me it's totally lost. And yet the very scansion of that song gets me giggling--as lyrics divorced from meaning, it's good.
