I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying: "Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear?
Being away from you, I've found the vein, put it in here
[BLAINE]
I live for the applause, applause, applause
[ARTIE]
I live for the applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
[RYDER]
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
Give me that thing that I love
[SAM]
(I’ll turn the lights on)
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
[BLAINE & SAM]
(Make it real loud)
[MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
Give me that thing that I love

[SAM]
I've overheard your theory: "Nostalgia’s for geeks!"
[RYDER]
I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read
[ARTIE]
One second I’m a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now art’s in pop culture, in me
[BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS]
I live for the applause, applause, applause
