Lyrics:
I'm Leaving the play today,
I don't want to act anymore-
The Producer is stingy,
I live on Skid Row.
The landlord is nosy,
And Lives right below

I'm leaving the play today,
I don't want to act anymore-
The Director's obtuse,
Everybody says so
The part that he gave me,
You Don't want to know...

Well, I try to ad-lib, but the man is absurd
He says I must follow the script word for word

I'm leaving the play today,
I don't want to act anymore-
The other actors complain and get by
They blame one another,but I don't know why!

No, I don't know why this play is in such dissaray,
That's why I am leaving today!

WalaWalaWala  Thank you! This is a recording I like a lot, myself -- done in one take. It isn't the 'official' version, but I think that it's better when the feeling is right, sometimes, rather than having 'the real version'. Glad you like it -- one of the first songs I ever wrote -- around 1997!  (Aug 29, 2011, 11:38 EDT)

Thanks for the free download! Very cool tune-- I love the Waltz rhythm, and the unusual subject matter. Very Paris, 1880!

WalaWalaWala  Thanks for the + feedback! This one has a sad back story, but I think you're right. It's basically a pretty cool tune :)  (Aug 08, 2011, 14:29 EDT)
