Quiet please, there's a lady on stage |
|
She may not be the latest rage |
|
But she's singing and she means it |
|
And she deserves a little silence |
|
Quiet please, there's a woman up there |
|
And she's been honest through her songs |
|
Long before your consciousness was raised |
|
Doesn't that deserve a little praise |
|
So put your hands together and help her along |
|
All that's left of the singer's |
|
All that's left of the song |
|
Stand for the ovation |
|
And give her one last celebration |
|
Quiet please, there's a person up there |
|
And she's been singing of the things |
|
That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves |
|
Give her your respect if nothing else |
|
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage |
|
Conductor, turn the final page |
|
And when it's over we can all go home |
|
But she lives on -- on the stage alone. |
