Quiet please, there's a lady on stage She may not be the latest rage But she's singing and she means it And she deserves a little silence
Quiet please, there's a woman up there And she's been honest through her songs Long before your consciousness was raised Now doesn't that deserve a little praise
So put your hands together and help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Stand for the ovation And give her one last celebration
Quiet please, there's a person up there Who's singing of the things That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves Give her your respect if nothing else
Put your hands together and help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Rise to the occasion Give her one last celebration
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage Conductor, turn the final page When it's over we can all go home She lives on, on the stage alone
So put your hands together, help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Stand for the ovation And give her one last celebration
Put your hands together and help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Rise for the ovation Give her one last celebration
Put your hands together, help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song
Put your hands together, help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Stand for the ovation And won't you give her one last celebration?
Put your hands together and help her along Let's just stay here all night and let's sing every song Won't you rise to the occasion? And won't you give her one last celebration?
Put your hands together, help her along All that's left of the singer's all that's left of the song Stand, stand for the ovation Yes, give her one last, just one last celebration
Come on, put your hands together, won't you help her along? Let's just stay here all night and sing every song Won't you rise? Can you rise to the occasion? And give her, a just one last, one last celebration?
