7. It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer / The customer sees what he gets in advance (Lovely Ladies from Les Miserables)

8. Your temperment's wrong for the priesthood and teaching would suit you still less (Son, Be a Dentist from Little Shop of Horrors)

9. Who'd have thought that fourteen cows could mean the things he said they did? (Stone the Crows from Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat)

23. I'm tired of living and scared of dying (Old Man River from Showboat)

24. First line of the blues is always sung a second time (Poppa's Blues from Starlight Express)

The sad part is that I know I know more of these, but I suck horribly at identifying uncontextualized lyrics. So I offer just these guesses:

10. Something from 'Evita.' Um...it's the scene where she's dancing with Antonio Banderas in the movie isn't it?
21. "People Will Say We're In Love" from Oklahoma
23. "Old Man River" from Showboat (my favorite line from that one, actually)

Ack, I know 25, too...uhh..shucks.

10 is from Evita, near the end of the movie. She's dying and... ugh! I can't remember the name of the song, but it's definitely from Evita.

15 "I Get a Kick Out of You." I had no idea that was originally a show tune

16 "Maria" from Sound of Music

18 "This Man of Mine" from Chicago"

22 "Worst I Could Do" from Grease

15 - I Get A Belt Out Of You -- but somehow I suspect Blazing Saddles isn't the musical you're looking for...

Gnnnah! It's from Company, and it's all the girls singing to Bobby about how much he sucks because he's obviously gay you idiots he can't commit. Title still escapes me.

{now with proper html -- but now before they sell out!}

Correct. I was very close to having the equivalent line from the original French version instead, but decided against it...
