What Broadway show is this tune from?

I found a snippet of the song, called “Show Tune” here…sung by Andrea McAnrdle

Disc 1, track 17

from an original cast recording of something called Jerry’s Girls.Original musical seems to be from Parade, A Musical Revue.‘s_Girls

From “Show Tunes: The Songs, Shows, and Careers of Broadway’s Major Composers” by Steven Suskin:

“In the meanwhile, Herman was working as a pianist at a Greenwich Village club called Showcase. He talked the owner into putting on a sprightly late-night revue called NIGHTCAP [May 18, 1958]. Two of the songs are worth notice, Show Tune in 2/4 – a lively catchy show tune in 2/4 – and the cleverly amusing Jolly Theatrical Season.

Other sources give the title as simply “Showtune” or “Show Tune”. This list of cast recordings lists “Show Tune” as a song from Parade, as @gailcalled mentioned. This recording includes the song (not all cast recordings do).

“Show Tune in 2/4” is not part of a Broadway show that is the problem. It’s from a revue Herman did in 1958 called “Nightcap” and was considered a noteworthy song.

I want to thank all 3 of you for responding so quickly & apologize for how long I took to respond.
Thanks to you I was able to get a copy of the song [as sung by Andrea McAnrdle] from iTunes & found all the additional lyrics at this url:

Thanks again!

I still have another question regarding additional lyrics to this great song.
I’ve heard an intro that goes something like this:

The one two three one two three one
of a waltz may enchant you
we grant you
and the syncopation of the cha cha
?
or the blues may tickle your ear
?
but as far as we’re concerned
THERE’S JUST NO TUNE, AS EXCITING…

Any ideas about this? [& thanks again for all your help!!]

It could be from one of several versions. The song was originally written for the revue Nightcap in 1958, but Herman used it again in the revue Parade that he did in 1960 (Here is the original cast album). The it was revised and recycled as the song “It’s Today” as a part of Mame in 1966.

Thanks marinelife! You hit the nail on the head. I got a copy of the song from iTunes from the Parade version & it includes the intro I was looking for. Thanks again!
