Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage Songtext

von Peter Allen

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
Now 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
Who's singing of the things
That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves
Give her your respect if nothing else
Put your hands together and help her along
All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Rise to the occasion
Give her one last celebration
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
Conductor, turn the final page
When it's over we can all go home
She lives on, on the stage alone
So put your hands together, 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
Put your hands together and help her along
All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Rise for the ovation
Give her one last celebration
Put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Stand for the ovation
And won't you give her one last celebration?
Put your hands together and help her along
Let's just stay here all night and let's sing every song
Won't you rise to the occasion?
And won't you give her one last celebration?
Put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Stand, stand for the ovation
Yes, give her one last, just one last celebration
Come on, put your hands together, won't you help her along?
Let's just stay here all night and sing every song
Won't you rise? Can you rise to the occasion?
And give her, a just one last, one last celebration?
