I've seen it, and it is.  That said, I also don't know how to get it.

In a Shakespearean adaptation, one would expect "This can't be love,
BECAUSE I feel so well," and that is indeed what Hart wrote. It is only
in the 19th century and after that falling in love is deemed a universal
and generally pleasant experience, versus the medieval and early modern
depiction of a coterie pastime often resulting in death of participants
and/or third parties.

Dana (Shilling)

"If you tickle Elmo, does he not laugh?"

T'is a filmed adaptation of the stage show and, as yet, not available on
tape.  Please someone tell me I'm wrong--I'd love to see this.

Hi Terry, the song appears twice in the show. First 'because I feel so
well', then 'don't feel so well'.

I only used one version for economy in posting. Sorry if I
misremembered.
