Janis Ian
Applause [Live on The Old Grey Whistle Test]
[Chorus]
Applause, applause
Give the singer a chance
Treat her right
Be polite
Maybe she will dance
Applaud, applaud
Give that singer a break
How much can you give?
How much can you take?
Give the singer a chance
Wanna give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe she will dance
[Verse 1]
Applause, applause
She will stand upon her head
Applause, applause
She'll take you to her bed
And share with you the mеmories
Of dreams she can't forgеt
Applause, applause
Let's give the prize
To the little lady
With the stars in her eyes
[Verse 2]
And I'll sell my soul for a song
Pay the price and carry on
I'll share with you the memories
Of dreams I can't forget
Of lovers I have met
Applause, applause
Let's give the prize
To the little lady
With the stars in her eyes
[Chorus]
Applause, applause
Give that singer a chance
Treat her right
Be polite
Maybe she will dance
Applaud, applaud
Give that singer a break
How much can you give?
How much can you take?
Give the singer a chance
I wanna give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe she will dance
Maybe she will dance
Maybe she will dance
