That's quite a number to sing

Spot lit getting lowered in

Can you co-direct and play the twins?

And adapt the main theme for mandolins?

I've conjured up wonderful things

The ballad of what could have been

Over and out

It's been a thrill.

I had big ideas, the band was so excited

The kind you'd rather not share over the phone

But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded

And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go.

Co-ordinated release

Nationwide festivities

We had 'em out of their seats

Waving their arms and stomping their feet

Some just hysterical scenes

The ballad of what could have been

Over and out

Really it's been a thrill.

I had big ideas, the band was so excited

The kind you'd rather not share over the phone

But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded

And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go

I just can't for the life of me remember how they go.
