Thomas Andrew Lehrer,
Songs and Lyrics — No Rice
(1973)
“ It's gotta just happen That's how it's gotta happen to me. This song was written in 1973 for a student production, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, of the musical PARK. It was one of several interpolations by Tom Lehrer in the score of the original musical. The latter, with book and lyrics by Paul Cherry and music by Lance Mulcahy, opened on Broadway in 1970 and closed after five performances. ”
