Private Audition

How are you?
You can start anytime
Got an appointment to keep for seven nights
I couldn't sleep
I'm in a state of disbelief it's my big chance on magic street
I followed this fashion doll down the famous hall"Ginger won't be long at all", she said, "Take a number, you'll be called"
I said, "I'm gonna show him what I can doNow it's just between us two"
In the grand tradition, private audition
I said, "I'm gonna show him what I can doAnd now it's just between us two"
In the grand tradition, private audition, yeah
Wish I knew then, what
I know now
I don't know what
I did wrong
I thought
I really laid it on
But when he called out for some more,
I gave him my standard encore
I gave him the
Swanee River the good ship
Rockin' Rye
The Stars and
Stripes Forever and the good old pal of mine
But that ain't what he was on about, he was casting for his couch
He said, "Come baby, show me what you can doAnd now it's just between us two"
In the grand tradition, private audition
You said, "Baby, baby, show me what you can doAnd now it's just between us two"
It's a grand tradition, private audition, yeah
