Lyrics
Before we give in to our good friends' good advice
While paper umbrellas give shade to tinkling ice,
Please hold your applause 'till our show has come to the ending,
We've only got 15 minutes to spend.
Now dim the footlights & cue the trumpets descending
When everyone loses in the end.
Before all these songs we loved are ruined forever,
Before all our drinks turn bitter altogether,
Please hold your applause 'till our show has come to the ending,
We've only got 15 minutes to spend.
Squeeze out the last bit of lime, there's no use pretending
When everyone loses in the end.
