It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's my old man sitting next to me

Making me smile and laugh all the way

He says, "Lyd can you play me a memory

I'm not really sure how it goes

But it's sad and it's sweet

And I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man's clothes."

Sing us a song you're at the festival

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright

Delaine at the table is a friend of mine

She gets me my drinks for free

And she's quick with a joke or to light up your face

But there's someplace that she'd rather be

She says, "Lyd, I believe this is killing me."

As a smile ran away from her face

"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place."

Now Danni is a real good artist

Who never had patience in math

And she's talking with Mary, who's still on the farm

And probably will be for life

And as Lauren is practicing mathematics

Charity is slowly getting bored

Yes they're sharing a drink they call “Inferno"

But it's better than drinking alone

Sing us a song you're at the festival

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

And the principal gives me a smile

'Cause he knows that it's the carni’s they’re coming to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at their chairs and listen to music

And say, “Why, are we just sitting here?"

Sing us a song you're at the festival

Sing us a song tonight

Well we're all in the mood for a melody

And you've got us feeling alright
