David Zippel's lyrics in City of Angels are loaded with incredibly witty lines.

Two marvelous wordplay chains from that show:

I go for the riff raff
Who's treating me so-so.
When I can play the second fiddle
I'm a virtuoso.
I should be playing for a wedding band.
But there're no wedding rings attached,
Though you can bet there're strings attached.

------

And come to think of it,
Your writing always mirrors our relationship
With dangers cropping up
And sweet young strangers cropping up like weeds.
So if you wish official pardoning,
You better do a little gardening.
Ya know, ya shouldn't be so generous with your seeds.
Your fertile lies don't fertilize,
It needs work.
