you been in showbiz long enough
you get a grip on how things work
that don't mean it ain't a surprise when they come to take your show
i been in showbiz long enough
you need to wait your turn
they say the kids don't wanna see an old dog sing and dance
they say they're done with television
and it ain't gettin' a second chance
but they never waited for their turn
they just snatched it up from dirt
they're gonna steal my show from me
they're gonna steal my show
when you come in here tellin' me i'm done
you're comin' at the oldest dog in here
you need to wait your turn
wait your turn like i did
i been syndicated throughout french amer
they gave me my severance pay but they never gave me a goddamn
they just stole my show and gave it up to some fat fuck cryin with a song about di-o-beet-us
he said you can't do this
ahmed wears a suit and tie
he's comin' at you like a paralegal nightmare
i got him stayin' up at the ritz
we're gonna get my show back
we're gonna get my show back
we're gonna get my show back
i got too much love stored in me
i got a pain you'll never know
but they ignored my lawyer
and i'm sat here thinking
i used to be the number one entertainer
now i'm bumpkin with a knife
i'll never get my show back
now i'm fumin' in the dark
and i'll tell you all somethin' bout flyin'
i never have to jump the shark
we're gonna get my show back
we're gonna get my show back
i got too much love stored in me
i got a pain you'll never know
