Fix male a part in song and dance (9)
I believe the answer is:
rigmarole
'song and dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'fix male a part' is the wordplay.
'fix' becomes 'rig' (rig can mean to fix or manipulate).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'part' becomes 'role' (eg a theatrical role).
'rig'+'m'+'a'+'role'='RIGMAROLE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for rigmarole that I've seen before include "Complicated business" , "Rambling account" , "Lengthy and complicated procedure" , "garbled nonsense" , "Long, rambling statement or complicated procedure" .)
