Down the Curtain - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
Oh dear dear dear dear [00:00:04]
Oh mister stage manager please [00:00:05]
I can't sing tonight [00:00:07]
You can't sing tonight [00:00:08]
No I'm terribly sorry [00:00:09]
I can't sing tonight [00:00:10]
You must sing tonight [00:00:11]
Your public's waiting [00:00:12]
Oh blow the public It's impossible [00:00:13]
I can't sing I can't explain I'm sorry [00:00:15]
Go out an' knock 'em cold baby [00:00:17]
The show must go on [00:00:19]
Oh dear Oh dear I can't [00:00:20]
"Ring down the curtain I can't sing tonight [00:00:23]
Their money back you'll have to pay [00:00:26]
Ring down the curtain I can't sing tonight [00:00:30]
This take me false teeth away "[00:00:33]
The theatre was packed from the pit to the stalls [00:00:38]
The show was about to begin [00:00:41]
The baritone villain stood there in the wings [00:00:44]
On his face was a dastardly grin [00:00:47]
The tenor had just finished padding his chest[00:00:50]
And was gracefully waving his hair [00:00:53]
The overture started [00:00:57]
The curtain went up [00:00:58]
When the heroine cried in despair:[00:01:00]
"Oh ring down the curtain [00:01:03]
I can't sing tonight [00:01:05]
Oh dash it I wish I was dead [00:01:07]
I can't sing tonight with me tonsils in sight [00:01:10]
I haven't a tooth in me head "[00:01:13]
The manager said that the show must go on [00:01:18]
He was in a terrible rage [00:01:21]
The baritone gave the soprano a push[00:01:24]
That shot her headfirst on the stage [00:01:27]
"You can't " cried the tenor [00:01:31]
"Strike one your own size "[00:01:32]
Then leaped on the stage amid cheers [00:01:34]
He said "What's the do "[00:01:37]
Because that was his cue [00:01:39]
And the heroine cried through her tears:[00:01:40]
"Oh ring down the curtain [00:01:43]
I can't sing tonight "[00:01:46]
She stood there and twiddled her thumbs [00:01:47]
The villain said "Gnash me "[00:01:50]
She said "No I can't [00:01:52]
I can't gnash with only me gums "[00:01:54]
The heroine swooned on a velvet settee [00:01:59]
But jumped up again with an "Ouch "[00:02:02]
Which rapidly turned to a cry of delight [00:02:05]
For there were her teeth on the couch [00:02:08]
The lovers embraced as she slipped in her teeth [00:02:11]
She turned with a smile on her face [00:02:15]
She opened her throat and let out a note[00:02:18]
That smashed ev'ry glass in the place [00:02:21]
"Ring down the curtain [00:02:29]
You can't sing tonight [00:02:30]
Or else you'll be put on the spot [00:02:32]
Some voices we've heard were a pain in the neck [00:02:35]
But yours is the worst of the lot "[00:02:39]
"Oh ring up the curtain [00:02:41]
I will sing tonight [00:02:43]
In spite of your laughter and jeers [00:02:45]
If you're so upset by my beautiful voice [00:02:48]
Then put cotton wool in your ears "[00:02:51]
"You can't sing tonight "[00:03:02]
