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.

We proudly welcome Tony Orlando

The state fair marquee reads

Inside 1000 people with yellow ribbons sing

and clap on 1 and 3

Watch him burn

He's dropping to his knees

Watch him burn

A medley: hits from Grease

Watch him burn

He never fails to please

Meanwhile in Taho outside Casa Tony

Wetting rags in gasoline

A jealous Frankie Valli says

"Dawn, I want you back"

Lights a match and counts to 3

Watch it burn

Reluctantly he leaves

Watch it burn

Acrid smoke making him wheeze

Watch it burn

Humming "Sherry," splits the scene

Watch it burn

reluctantly he leaves

Watch it burn

Acrid smoke making him wheeze

Watch it burn

??? splits the scene

We're sorry to inform you

Tony Orlando has been postponed
