Tom Lehrer - Scenery Lyrics

If it is not exactly clear
Why I'm here
You may think it's part of the plot
But it's not
This song I bring
Is just a silly thing
Which I will only sing
You see
To give them time to change the scenery
Scenery, scenery
The only reason that there is for this here song
Is to help the guys along

Tell us now, are you ready for us?
NO!
Well, in that case, I will sing another chorus.
If you should ask me why this song
Is so long
All I can say is just that I'm
Killing time
As you must know
I didn't write this show
And so you mustn't go
Blaming me
I'm here to let them change the scenery.
Scenery, scenery
And if you think this song is silly as can be
I admit that I agree
Tell us now, are you ready for us?
YES!
Well, in that case, you are spared another chorus
