Oh, that's great! You've got
Something to prove;
Listen here, and I think
You won't be disappointed:
I'm going to give you a deal,
And you're going to sing for me.
Everybody's going to love you,
You'll see. They'll love you.

Oh, that's great! You've got
Something to say;
Well of course! But how about
We give you a little glitter here and there,
And cover up the rough spots like so.
Good.
Now they'll listen,
You'll see. They'll listen.

Oh, that's great! You've got
Something to lose;
Now's the time to work the weekends getting
Everything just right.
Choose your priorities, friend.
Ideas don't sell albums;
Songs do.
And you'll see. They'll sell.

Oh, that's great! You've got
Nothing left.
Well the timing is perfect,
Cause there's a new kid on the block
Who reminds me of you
And he's gonna be the next big thing.
And you were well worth the time and expense, kid.
I always thought you had the right stuff.

Hope you enjoyed your career.
