Quiet Please, There's a Lady On Stage (Live/1977) - Peter Allen

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?
