Matinee Idyll (129) (P Judd, T Finn) 2:57 Lyrics

 Hiding in the wings forever
 We'll take the stage, cos it's now or never
 And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease
 The matinee idylls they all fall to their knees

 It's not all first nights at all
 There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
 `get on with it'

 Playing Romeo, you make your debut, ha!
 Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue
 It's not all bouquets & white crayons
 They're going to laugh when you look down
 I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy
 You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along

 It's not all first nights at all
 There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
 `jolly good show everyone'
