Frank Loesser (29 June 1910 – 28 July 1969) was one of the great Broadway composers who also wrote his own lyrics.
Rocking the Boat
There once was a music professor
Who studied the works of Frank Loesser.
When asked, “Was he great?”
He replied, “No debate!
The answer, of course, is hell yes, sir!”

Imaginary History
When trying titles on for size,
At first they thought that Dolls and Guys
Would be the name the public buys,
But though it sounded good at first,
And that is how it was rehearsed.
In trials out of town it burst,
And then the title was reversed.
