Lyrics
One man show
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A man alone is just trying to hold his own
A man alone reduced to holding his own
All this new-found freedom is so outta-sight
Got a hot date with a baked potato tonight
And you may not want to see it
But you had better believe it
This is my one man show
Ah, this is my one man show
Ah, this is my one man show
Though it ain't very funny
It's on an extended run, yeah
Oh, this is my one man show
Well, it's the same performance playing out night after night
Night after night after night
So take a seat and baby I will turn down the lights
I will turn down the light
The curtain is raised and the audience is in for a shock
It's a holocaust of chrome, black leather and a tissue box
And I am so glad you showed up
Just in time for Men & Motors
Oh, this is my man show
Yeah
Ah, this is my one man show
Ah, this is my one man show
Though it ain't very funny
It's on an extended run, yeah
Oh, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man show
Oh, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man show
Oh, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man...
And if you still treat your girl like you do -
well, it may be coming to a town near you
Oh, this is my one man show
Oh, this is my one man show
Yeah, this is my one man show
