We'll take the stage,     it's now or never
        D                Gm
And the whole thing reeks   of cheap striptease

The matinee idylls, they all fall to their knees
Em                            A
 It's not all first nights at all
C                                 F          Esus4
 There's nothing more dull than a curtain call

Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue
Em                               A
 It's not all bouquets and white crayons
C                            F           Esus4
 They're going to laugh when you look down
Em                           A
 I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy
