In the Wall Street Journal, of all places (looks you can access without a subscription, but I cannot guarantee).  This is for mature audiences, as it contains not only a few racy lyrics from the musical but some rap lyrics as well; but the graphing of end rhymes, internal rhymes, assonance, etc is not something I've ever seen before.

I saw that yesterday and it was incredible. Anyone with older kids or who simply doesn't care about the lyrics should use it to demonstrate how to really pull apart the internal structure in poetry. It was an incredible look at how to apply that kind of deep analysis of the language.
