[00:00.457] Hey up there!
[00:02.625] Way up there!
[00:04.454] Whaddaya say, up there?
[00:06.988]
[00:08.816] I see it all
[00:10.775] It's like a movie in my head that plays and plays
[00:15.686] It isn't just the bad things I remember
[00:19.317] It's the whole show
[00:21.460]
[00:22.922] Waiting around for the girls upstairs
[00:26.658] After the curtain came down
[00:30.707] Money in my pocket to spend
[00:34.651] 'Honey, could you maybe get a friend for my friend?'
[00:38.439]
[00:38.909] Hearing the sound of the girls above
[00:42.671] Dressing to go on the town
[00:46.668] Clicking heels on steel and cement
[00:50.638] Picking up the giggles floating down through the vent
[00:54.661] Goddamnedest hours that I ever spent...
[00:58.658] ...Were waking for the girls Upstairs
[01:04.457]
[01:08.872] Hey up there!
[01:10.805] Way up there!
[01:12.398] Whaddaya say up there?
[01:14.488]
[01:14.932] That's where the keys hung and That's where you picked up your mail
[01:21.019]
[01:22.508] I remember
[01:23.213] Me and Ben, Me and Ben
[01:25.277] We'd come around at ten, Me and Ben
[01:27.288] And hang around the wings, Watching things
[01:29.822] With what-the-hell-was-his-name, You know, the old guy...
[01:33.009] Max! I remember
[01:34.785] Anyway, there we'd stay Until the curtain fell
[01:39.200] And when the curtain fell, Then all hell broke
[01:43.928] Girls on the run and scenery flying, Doors slamming left and right
[01:48.578] Girls in their undies, blushing but trying Not to duck out of sight
[01:52.940] Girls by the hundreds waving and crying, 'See you tomorrow night!'
[01:57.355] Girls looking frazzled and girls looking great
[02:01.796] Girls in a frenzy to get to a date
[02:06.054] Girls like a madhouse and two of 'em late...
[02:10.704] And who had to wait?
[02:14.779] And wait...
[02:18.619] And wait...
[02:20.630]
[02:23.399] Waiting around for the boys downstairs
[02:27.135] Stalling as long as we dare
[02:31.236] Which dress from my wardrobe of two?
[02:35.206] One of them was borrowed and the other was blue
[02:39.282]
[02:39.621] Holding our ground for the boys below
[02:43.331] Fussing around with our hair
[02:47.353] Giggling wiggling out of our tights
[02:51.324] Chattering and clattering down all of those flights
[02:55.216] God, I'd forgotten there ever were nights
[02:59.161] Of waiting for the boys Downstairs
[03:05.169]
[03:09.322] You up there!
[03:10.237] Down in a minute!
[03:11.360] You two up there!

[03:21.051] Look, if we're going, we gotta get going 'cause (Coming, we're ready, be there in a jiffy)
