Quiet please, there's a lady on stage

Quiet please, there's a lady on stage Lyrics

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

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

And she's been singing of the things

That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves

Give her your respect if nothing else


Quiet please, there's a lady on stage

Conductor, turn the final page

And when it's over we can all go home

But she lives on -- on the stage alone.
