from "Fiddler on the Roof" in the song, "Matchmaker"...

For Poppa, make him a scholar,
For Momma, make him rich as a king,
For me, well, I wouldn't holler...

I hate that line. There is another one from Sondheim or Hammerstein which is really irritating, but I can't for the life of me think of it now.
