It's a brand new refrain altogether. The verse ("Sam Craig, wherever you are") is the same, with one lyric change at the end: The ladies are singing my praises, Soon, they'll be raising the roof. I'm not going to listen to you, Sam. Why should I listen to you, Sam? With this incontrovertible proof. Also, there's a new song at the end of the show, replacing "We're Gonna Work It Out," called "Open The Window, Sam" - and in the overture, the section that used to be the title song has been changed to s short uptempo version of "Window." And yes, these changes are in the version available from Sam French, whoever they are...;-)

Thank you. I'll now just say ... the melody is awfully catchy, the upbeat rhythm and syncopation welcome. Bacall seems much more comfortable with this version, where it sits on her limited range, and it's a better start to the show. Nice to know it's available (and indeed required) when staging the show.
