After The Theatre Lyrics by B.A. Robertson

Wringing Applause

1973

[Verse 1]
Learn to play the lover's part
It's really quite the art
Every night at the second house
Break their little hearts
Push and tease them, try to please them
Give them heart and soul
Loved your act, want you back
[Refrain]
And after the theatre, there's always something
Some gala production of one new Broadway show
That gets lost out in New Haven
But you're told that they loved you
And you need that loving
So you always do one more
[Verse 2]
It's not your placе to criticize
You're not quite yеt a star
Though I really must insist
Things sometimes go too far
You know you're act's the greatest thing
Since two and two were five
They'll love your act, want you back
[Refrain]
And after the theatre, there's one more opening
They want one more movie or maybe just a tour
Of the nightclubs, across all Europe
There's west coasts and east coasts
Back to the theatre
Round and round you go
[Refrain]
And after the theatre, there's always nightlife
And friendship abounds crawling out of every floor
The brightness it damn near blinds you
But they told you, they loved you, and you need that loving
You always sing one more
[Outro]
So after the theatre, what really happens
With no one around you
It's one large empty
One quite lonely room
