I don't mean to gripe but I saw you open tonight In your latest play and I know what your critics will say They'll say you should've stayed home and your mind wanders then it roams They're just jealous of your throne Youve had a little to drink but first night jitters shouldnt make you think Of giving up the ghost, its what you do best and I love the most But theyll say you shouldve stayed home and go over you with a fine tooth comb They're just jealous of your throne So please dont close the show Take a deep breath and then blow Everyone away and close your ears to the small minds that say You sing in a monotone that sounds best on the telephone They're just jealous of your throne
