[Verse 1]
Good evening, I'm your entertainment
While you're laying in bed
Didn't know it could have so much meaning
Looking at you via CBS

[Chorus]
Lights up, the balcony
On the edge of their seats
I've been here since before I was me
We're laughing, with the laugh track
It's funny, but we're laughing with ghosts

[Verse 2]
Cut to a word from our sponsors
I sit down at the desk
Took so long to lose a dimension
But the cue card says I'm next

[Chorus]
Lights up, the balcony
On the edge of their seats
I've been hеre since beforе I was me
We're laughing, with the laugh track
It's funny, but we're laughing with ghosts
[Bridge]
Longer than life, I wanted to be
Watching from home last century
Surprising myself, that version of me
Hey kid, look up, can you believe?
Surprising myself, that version of me

We're laughing, with the laugh track
It's funny, but we're laughing with ghosts

[Outro: Harry Abramson]
I've been in New York City, Chicago, Illinois
I have been in Boston, Massachusetts and the Quakertown
But I did not feel at home there, so I thought of my hometown
The city of conventions where they make you feel at home

Rochester is a grand ol' city
It's the place I call my home
It's a city of trees and flowers grand
It's certain, united we stand

"Rochester made" that means "quality"
With we will all agree
Rochester, take me there!
It's our city where I want to be!
