Put that farewell vibe on hold
I am a performer and I am going to be bold
I have a story that needs to be told
The spotlight is what started me to enter
My Broadway performance will not be over until I sing
But just remember one thing
It might be a sour note I hit
I guess at some point my Broadway regards will be it
But for now, Broadway calls
I have established myself for all
I must answer
Now Broadway being the Great White Way
I feel the rhythm and the music sounds ok
But what direction do I take?
I might have made one mistake
The audience seems to applause
It’s there reason of course
I think will add the piano to my entertainment
As show business states, one must have total commitment
Just my luck, the piano cover will probably fall on my fingers
I could just see it now, the pain will continue to linger
I will do my best to entertain
But someone in the audience yelled, “That sour note singer can no longer remain”
Talk about Audience Rebellion taking aim
All I can do is to continue to perform and don’t complain
Broadway Eyes, please help me to be wise
At some point, I guess I will have to apologize
But Broadway has me all charged up and I am energized
Yet wait a moment, the Duracell bunny has stepped on the stage and I am totally surprised
He went on and on and all I can do was just yond
As for me, the orchestra even had their revenge
I guess this is my end to Broadway
Short as it was
I had no choice but to give my regards to Broadway
The curtain immediately came down
Later I was no where to be found
I simply got out of town.
