Since I've googled it and can't respond (though I wouldn't have gotten it anyway), I'll add some hints:

It's a comic song.
There's a version by a frequent (and often controversial) Sondheim performer.
The lyrics are by a lyricist Sondheim dislikes.

...beautiful diamond ring, a bungalow...
But us, old friend,
What's to discuss, old friend?

One more clue - 

A bungalow...with a stair?

I had to Google it too.
More clues...
It's from a film.
The song is diegetic in the film.
The characters the performers are playing (not while they're singing) are not romantically involved (!).

Well, I know who the leading man is and have narrowed down the lyricist to two probable ones but I still can't think of the song or the movie. With all these clues, I feel kinda dumb. I refuse to google it at this point. I feel sure I'll come up with it.

Well as its a question it should be possible to eliminate some potential first words...

I finally gave up and googled and I do not know this song. I think maybe it's time for another one, @MartinG. Do you agree?

I'm with @AmyG on this one, Martin. I don't think hints are going to help.

OK fair enough  :)

If anyone's still curious, it's this!

So let's try...

...of a word to rhyme.

A top 10 hit in the UK in '72, and no 1 in the UK by a renowned ophidiophile.

An ophidophile is a snake lover, right? Sounds like Alice Cooper. "School's Out for the Summer"?
