Steel drums play,
Costume change and quick cigarette in your break,
And the curtains are pulled,
A million faces to a million gazes.
Tell a funny joke,
Did you forget your lines or mispronounce the words that you were never meant to know?
So put your costume on,
Cos you were good at playing bad and it's so funny when it's sad but that's just you
So don't look so unhappy,
You'll never get it first time,
Don't mess up on your last line,
And it's okay to laugh now,
You're talking to your home crowd,
You'll do your mum and dad proud.
And when the song plays out,
You should be ready with a smile,
Cos I know it's been a while and that's okay,
I know you dream out loud,
It's not the same when you're asleep so why wake up and go repeat the same old play?
So don't look so unhappy,
You'll never get it first time,
Don't mess up on your last line,
And it's okay to laugh now,
You're talking to your home crowd,
You'll do your mum and dad proud.
Don't you wait a night...
