Private Audition
How are you?You can start anytime
I got an appointment to keepFor seven nights I couldn't sleepI'm in a state of disbeliefIt's my big chance on magic streetI followed this fashion dollDown 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 doNow it's just between us two"In the grand tradition, private auditionI said, "I'm gonna show him what I can doNow 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 wrongI thought I really laid it onBut when he called out for some moreI gave him my standard encoreI gave him the Swanee RiverThe good ship Rockin' RyeThe Stars and Stripes ForeverAnd good Ol' Pal O' MineBut that ain't what he was on aboutHe was casting for his couch
He said, "Come baby, show me what you can doNow it's just between us two"In the grand tradition, private auditionHe said, "Baby, baby, show me what you can doNow it's just between us two"It's a grand tradition, private audition, yeah
