on Show

Come see the show
Come follow the band
You don’t need  ticket
I’m coming to town
I’ve packed up my quirks

All your favourites are there
I’ve polished my act
Just watch and learn 

Paste up the posters
Start the parade
Put up the big top
My tours hit town 

I’ll tell you my secrets
I’ll share with you my dreams
You’ll gasp at my beauty
When I lay myself bare 

Take a ringside seat
As I take the spot
For one night only
I’m live in your town 

I’ve rehearsed long and hard
In silence all these years
Now the curtain is rising
It’s time to perform 

I’m a one man show
A creative machine
A three ring circus
A carnival queen 

It’s an open invitation
An historic event
A new kind of entertainment
Without the expense 

I’m the jester in your courtyard
The star on your screen
I’m open for business
I’ve never been seen 

The stage has been set
The lights are down low
Come hear my small story
Come see the show
