[Intro: Otto Preminger]
STOP!
We are not through yet
And before you Skidoo
We would like to introduce our cast and crew!

Michael Constantine: Leech
Frank Gorshin: The Man
John Phillip Law: Stash
Peter Lawford: The Senator
Burgess Meredith: The Warden
George Raft: The Skipper
Cesar Romero was Hechy
Mickey Rooney: "Blue Chips" Packard
And Groucho Marx played "God"
In the Otto Preminger film
Ski-doodle-y-do-do-doo!

With Arnold Stang as Harry
Doro Merande as The Mayor
Phil Arnold as her husband
Slim Pickens: the switchboard operator
Robert Donner as another switchboard operator
Richard Kiel as Beany
Tom Law as Geronimo
Jaik Rosenstein as "Eggs" Benedict (Benedict!)
Stacy King as The Amazon
And Renny Roker as a prison guard
Roman Gabriel as a prison guard
And Nilsson as a tower guard
And Stone Country as themselves
[Spoken:] And the Orange County Ramblers played the Green Bay Packers!

And Introducing
Austin Pendleton as Fred
Alexandra Hay as Darlene
And Luna as "God's" mistress
Well, you kno-ow what I mean!
Music and lyrics by Nilsson who also played a tower guard
Arranged and conducted by George Tipton, a very good friend!
