Lyrics

During the intermission
We'd like to bring to your attention
Some forthcoming attractions
things that you might enjoy
If you you think you like forthcoming attractions
These are all things that we have coming up for you
At this time of year
In several months it will be Christmas
And after that is will be Easter
Followed by the Chinese New Year
And the Jewish New Year
And the French New Year
And the time of year you may wish to buy bouquets for all your friends
All your friends look nice with flowers
Please do not forget this
If you have a really special friend
Check them into a Holiday Inn
Because this gives you discount on some major airlines
And you may have a few dollars left
And you're wondering hard
What to do with them
Well, fear not
You could always rent a car from Budget or Hertz
Or the people who rent them cheaply out to other people
So you say "how can I pay for all of this?"
Well, get a credit card
And if your credit's bad
Then get a firm who will sponsor you to buy another credit card
If there is anything left over

(spoken)
And I advise you to go down to the, er
Hang on, let me just get this right
There is a really good play on at the moment called 'Better Days'
And it's on at the Chicago Dramatists Workshop, just off Milwaukee
And I saw it this evening and I really urge you to see it
There is a production tomorrow night at 8, and it's on next weekend
And er, it's really good
That's all I can say
That means I liked it
So presumably er, by Socratic method you'd like it as well
It's a lot better than other things I've seen on some major West End productions in London
And probably the same goes for Broadway
Ok, I'd like to continue now with the concert
