Steel drums play

Costume change and quick cigarette in your break

And the curtains are pulled

A million faces to a million gazes

Tell a funny joke

Did you forget your lines or mispronounce the words

That you were never meant to know

So put your costume on

Cos you were good at playing bad and it's so funny

When it's sad but that's just you

So don't look so unhappy

You'll never get it first time

Don't mess up on your last line

And it's okay to laugh now

You're talking to your home crowd

You'll do your mum and dad proud

And when the song plays out

You should be ready with a smile

Cos I know it's been a while and that's okay

I know you dream out loud

It's not the same when you're asleep so why wake up

And go repeat the same old play

So don't look so unhappy

You'll never get it first time

Don't mess up on your last line

And it's okay to laugh now

You're talking to your home crowd

You'll do your mum and dad proud

Don't you wait a night

Don't you wait a night
