Math And Physics Club - Everybody Loves a Showtune lyrics

first run closes on a sunday new town, curtain on a thursday I'm still waiting for my chance the director says no but I think I'm ready god knows the story is a bore don't you think you've heard this song before one two three four, everybody sing along big smiles, everybody loves a showtune oh leading man, once a star of screen and stage now an alcoholic hollywood cliche I admit I may have had it in for him but I swear I didn't think when I hadn't him the drink he'd end up pa**ed out an lying on the floor the understudy had quit the day before I knew my chance had come at last the curtain went up, the chorus was singing I hit my marks and danced across the floor tonight I'll be the one that they adore oh just keep smiling, keep laughing everybody loves a showtune everybody loves a showtune that's when the man in the fedora grabs my arm and pulls me to the floor I'm shouting, get off of me the curtain goes down, the chorus still singing I'm crawling madly for the door the audience starts calling for an encore I stood and turned and took a bow and smiled for the crowd everybody loves a showtune everybody loves a showtune
