提醒读者

在接下来的歌词里，我通常会考虑到篇幅的缘故，删去和歌词交织在一起的对白部分。对白部分的保留仅限于，理解内容以及使歌曲流畅通顺所必须。

与此同时，零零散散洒落在整本书中的，是许多微小的观察，是有关于许多男人和一个女人的（是的，只有一个）；这些人，基于普遍的共识，他们共同组成了，用英语表演的音乐剧的领域中，杰出词作者的万神殿。我没有在这之中囊括任何健在的人作为案例，这是出于我在序言中作出了解释的一些原因。我也不去阐释那些，未曾持续给戏剧进行写作的人，比如Johnny Mercer, leo Robin, Carolyn leigh, Howard Dietz, John La Touche, Meredith Willson, DuBose Heyward等等。我只希望他们曾经能够多写一点就好了，因为有时他们写的东西真的很好，这些作品值得被评注。尤其要说的是，我不评价Betty Comden和Adolph Green，也不评价Fred Ebb，因为依据我的看法，他们还不算死人，失去他们是太近期的事了，而且他们生前是我的朋友。

在本书中付印的歌词版本，和在其他来源的歌词版本之间，存有一些微小的差异因为呢，撇开偶然的印刷错误不提，我有时会改变我对于措辞的想法，这发生在初版之后，这甚至是发生在再版之后。这些个这本书中的版本，可以算最终版本。这将一直持续到我又改变想法。

本书全部人物列表

（按照出场顺序）

在接下来的书页中所提及的，大多数的词作者和作曲家[的名字]，出自于1980年代以前写就的音乐剧作品。考虑到他们中的一些，对读者而言是陌生的，请让我提供这一个清单，列出他们的名字和音乐剧的作品创作履历（他们中的一些人同时是剧作家、诗人、小说家），顺带也列出一些他们的更具知名度的演出（用斜体标注），以及戏剧中的歌曲（用引号标注）；这样就可以避免，在他们名字出现在评注中时，由于必须去辨认他们，所插入的阅读不畅。
