Open Mic Night

[JILL, spoken]
Well, I dropped out of school so I'd have time for waitressing
Finding the open mic nights
And figuring out where the lesbians hang out
I got a gig on the weekend singing with this
Smooth jazz band called "Mixed Emotions"
The guys in the band were all vegan Buddhists
Who did a, a lot of cocaine
And they played smooth jazz really, really fast
And every other Tuesday
I did the Gator McGoon's open mic night
At the Holiday Inn

[BAND MUSICIAN 1]
Are you an up-and-coming musician
Looking for the right time and place
To share your talent with the world?
And in a safe, supportive, no-judgment zone?

[BAND MUSICIAN 2]
It's gonna take some courage
You'll be surprised at what you'll do

[BAND MUSICIANS 1 & 2]
So sign up now and wait your turn

[BAND]
And make your dreams come true

[JILL, spoken]
Two, three, four

[JILL]
Open mic night, open mic night
Every other Tuesday at a quarter past nine
Bring your guitar and let your star shine
Come on, everybody, it's open mic night

Pick your songs wisely, if it helps, have a drink
There's twelve people before it's your turn to sing
Meet fellow musicians and potential fans
And don't forget to flirt with Jake

[JILL & BAND]
The sound man

Open mic night, open mic night
Every other Tuesday at a quarter past nine

[JILL]
Don't be afraid, you'll be just fine

[JILL & BAND]
Everybody starts at open mic night

[GATOR, spoken]
Jill Sah, uh, Sahbel is up next

[JILL]
The box sits on the bridge
The crowd is waiting
The chains are locked upon my chest
There's no heart breaking

I've done this show a thousand times
This trick's so easy
As they lower me into your waters
There's no escaping

There's a secret passage out of here
But I don't wanna reappear
I just wanna stay with you in here

In Houdini's box
Well, close the lid
And tie the knot
Houdini's box

[BAND MUSICIAN 3]
Two, three

[JILL]
Lady Gaga did it, maybe Joni did too
And it's good to know there's people
Who are worse than you
Maybe you'll be discovered
Like I was way back when
And your parents finally realize

[JILL & BAND]
How great you've always been

Open mic night, open mic night
Every other Tuesday at a quarter past nine

[JILL]
Bring your guitar and let your star shine

[JILL & BAND]
Come on, everybody, it's open mic night
