The Curtain Call
The act is you
Can you act and imitate?
And pretend you’re someone else.
And disguise your deep blue eyes.
By camouflage and stealth
Covered and concealed
Dressed up in a trance
Hear the beat and then repeat
The music is in dance.
Learn the move that goes to prove
Your muscles know the way.
And then dance deep in your mind.
And let your body sway.
Action is reaction
Get into the groove
Then change to automatic.
And watch your body move.
Everything I say and do
All is a learned behaviour.
Imitation by vocation
Show that you’re the saviour.
I was singing in the shower.
Saluting the new day
They are doing what comes naturally.
Time to have your say.
On the stage or the street
And down the avenue
A curtain call says it all.
The act is you.
