Private Audition lyrics

How are you?

You can start anytime

I 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 do

Now it's just between us two"

In the grand tradition, private audition

I said, "I'm gonna show him what I can do

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 good Ol' Pal O' 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 do

Now it's just between us two"

In the grand tradition, private audition

He said, "Baby, baby, show me what you can do

Now it's just between us two"

It's a grand tradition, private audition, yeah
