[Verse 1]
I'll sell my soul for a song
Pay the price and carry on
And share with you the memories
Of dreams I can't forget
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 the singer a chance
Treat him right
Be polite
Maybe he will dance
Applause, applause
Give the singer a break
How much can you give?
How much can you take?
Give the singer a chance
Give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe he will dance
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Applause, applause
He will stand upon his head
Applause, applause
He'll take you to her bed
And share with you the memories
Of dreams he can't forget
Applause, applause
Let's give the prize
To the little lady
With the stars in her eyes

[Verse 1]
And I'll sell my soul for a song
Pay the price and carry on
And share with you the memories
Of dreams I can't forget
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 the singer a chance
Treat him right
Be polite
And maybe he will dance
Applause, applause
Give that singer a break
How much can you give?
How much can you take?
Oh, give the singer a chance
Give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe he will dance
Maybe he will dance
Maybe he will dance, yeah
