Lyrics
Good evening, ladies gentleman and welcome. Patrons are respectfully reminded that the use of cameras or sound or video recording equipment is strictly forbidden. Also please do not sit in the aisles, as in the event of any emergency you will be trampled to death. Also, patrons who are fitted with hearing-aids are requested not to turn up their levels too high, lest they set up feed back in patrons fitted with pacemakers. Please do not crinkle your program incessantly. Please do not fidget uncontrollably in your seats. Please do not make little clicking noises with your tongue And please Don't cough It tends to throw the actors off Alright, it isn’t Aristophanes but please Don't cough Don't say, "What?" To every line you think you haven’t got And if you're in a snit because you've missed the plot (Of which I must admit there's not an awful lot) Still don't Say, "What?" If you see flaws, please Don't drop your jaws, please Now loud guffaws, please When things don't go as planned During a pause, please Lots of applause, please If we don't get a hand You’ll have to stand for one that’s canned Don't go "Oh!" Whenever there’s a song you know And when you hear the verse don't whisper low "They cut that outta town I saw the show I don't recall the tempo being quite that slow" And please, refrain From eating sweets in cellophane Though it's not Aristophanes Please don’t fuss And when you hear cacophanies Well, don't blame us If we should get satirical Don't take it wrong And if, by a sudden miracle A tune should appear that's lyrical Don't hum along Do not throw food please 'Till we conclude please Do not allude please To talent gone to waste If something's screwed please Don't come unglued please No need to leave in haste The author has a reputation based On taste So please, don't fart - There's very little air and this is art If now and then you're restless don't lose heart A premature departure may seem smart But wait for the finale which is brilliant then depart But first We start Putting it together
