Wasn’t this supposed to be a musical? Here I am in the balcony How the hell could I have missed the overture? I like the scenery Dm7 Fm Gaug Even though I have absolutely no [Verse] Idea at all What is being said despite the dialogue There’s the leading man The movie star who never faced an audience Where’s the orchestra? [Middle 8] After all This is my big night on the town My introduction to the theatre crowd I assumed that the show would have a song Gaug So I was wrong [Verse] (variation) At least I understand All the innuendo and the irony And I appreciate The roles the actors played the point the author made [Coda] And after the closing lines And after the curtain calls The curtain falls On empty chairs ... where’s the orchestra? [Outro] | | / | | / | | | / | | | / | [melody: Allentown] (repeat and fade)
