Hiding in the wings forever
We'll take the stage
'cos it's now or never
And the whole thing reeks
Of cheap striptease
The matinee idylls
They all fall to their knees
It's not all first nights at all
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
"Get on with it"
Playing Romeo
You make your debut, ha
Rose red cheeks
But your face is all blue
It's not all bouquets and white crayon, uh huh
They're going to laugh when you look down ... own
I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus (?) boy
You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along
But it's not all first nights at all
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
"Jolly good show"
