All of My Friends Were There

[00:04.00] My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
[00:09.06] It was the summit of my long career,
[00:11.17] But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
[00:13.11] The management said that I shouldn't appear.
[00:15.18] I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
[00:19.15] The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
[00:21.11] I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
[00:24.13] And just when I wanted no one to be there,
[00:27.21] All of my friends were there.
[00:33.28] Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
[00:40.29] All of my friends were there to stand and stare,
[00:47.39] Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay.
[00:55.39] Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
[00:59.97]
[01:02.32] All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
[01:09.20]
[01:13.43] Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
[01:17.49] I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
[01:19.45] And gave the impression that I did not care,
[01:21.45] But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.
[01:24.50] Came the day, helped with a few large glasses of gin,
[01:28.59] I nervously mounted the stage once again,
[01:30.52] Got through my performance and no one complained,
[01:32.58] Thank God I can go back to normal again.
[01:36.55] I went to that old cafe,
[01:40.50]
[01:42.62] Where I had been in much happier days,
[01:49.61] And all of my friends were there,
[01:53.62] And no one cared.
[01:56.69] Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
[02:05.67] Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
[02:12.75] All of my friends were there,
[02:16.75] Now I don't care.
