Play-back
If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
 
Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
 
Get your mike in front of you now, if you don't know what to do
The lights are low, they'll never notice that the whole thing isn't true
 
Here's your chance, give it a good try
You've no voice - that's the reason why
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, that's the one way to get by
 
Must say, they don't really care
Make believe everyone will stare
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, you'll get over your nightmare
 
If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
 
Get the rhythm in your mind and watch yourself - here comes the rhyme
I like you small, just keep them stalled, now hold it back, don't touch the line
 
Play your tape, may the mix be rough
Play the game - gotta play it tough
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, they will never get enough
 
I'm done how to play it cool
Do it right, man, you know the rule
It's play-back, gotta be play-back
Once again play-back, now you tell me - who's the fool?
 
If you wanna sing a song, though your voice is goin' wrong
Never mind about the tune and sing along -
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
 
Smile around and there you go, don't you worry - they don't know
I believe you'll be the greatest on the show
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
 
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
It's play-back, it's play-back, it's play-back
