Note: Some authorities credit the song "Turk In The Murkadurk" as being part of the show's score, no doubt because it was recorded by the show's star, Cyril Ritchard, and had lyrics by the show's librettist Sumner Locke Eliott. However, if it was performed in the show (and I have yet to verify that it was), it was an interpolation because it was written and recorded a year or more earlier in time. Nonetheless, I list below the known recordings of that song in an abundance of caution.
