Get Off The Stage
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.
Oh, you silly old man
You silly old man
You're making a fool of yourself
So get off the stage
You silly old man
In your misguided trousers
With your mascara and your Fender guitar
And you think you can arouse us?
But the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one
Downstage, and offstage
Don't you feel all run in?
And do you wonder when they will take it away?
This is your final fling
But then applause ran high
But for the patience of the ones behind you
As a verse drags on like a month drags on
It's very short, but it seems very long
And the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one
So, get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we get down off of the stage
Please stay off the stage - ALL DAY!
Get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we've had our money back
Then I'd like your back in plaster
Oh, I know that you say
How age has no meaning
Oh, but here is your audience now
And they're screaming
"Get off the stage"
Oh, get off the stage
Because I've given you enough of my time
And the money that wasn't even mine
Have you seen yourself recently?
Oh, get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
For whom, oh
For whom, oh
Get off the stage
Get off the stage
Get off the stage
(For whom the bell tolls)
