Lyrics

Neil

Have they all gone?
Yes! It's Neil's turn,
No more writers to whine,
Now the whole show is mine!
No more Nathan,
With his bean dip!
Say goodnight, Frankenstein,
'Cause it's my turn to shine!

I can do all of their jobs!
I can just play with these knobs!
And I'll sound fine...!

It's a one-man,
Like Hal Holbrook!
Like that showcase for Liza,
It's "Neil with an 'i'",
Hey, Felicia,
You were great, kid.
But you just had to die,
'Cause there's no 'team' in 'I'

I'll sing my own harmonies,
I'll go as low as I please.
Or I'll go high...

Welcome, everybody, to my commentary,
I've got so much talent, it's a little scary,
Is my every random thought insightful?
Very!
Not just entertaining, I'm a luminary...

I'll charm the chicks -
("Are those things real? Ha!")
Do magic tricks
("Was it the 3 of Clubs? Ho!")
Lay down some tap
And I can rap --

My name is Neil
and I'm here to say
Wakka-chukka-po
Wakka-poo--- Pbbth!

--No, I can't rap,
That was painful.
Let's move on to the part where I talk about art.
Look at that shot! We used cameras.
There's a boom guy in frame,
He was great,
What's-his-name...

What was his name...? What should I say...? The choices are endless!
And here I am, at last, alone and... friendless!
...No, I'm not friendless!
I've got some friends!
They'll be here when this ends!
IF this ends...!
What do I say?!
What does this switch do?!
It turns off the lights!
Now it's dark and I'm lost and alone...
And what's with all these chords?!?
What's with all these weird chords?!?

Somebody help!
Somebody say "Cut!" Somebody say "Action!" Somebody say something!
I'm so afraid,
Somebody say "Cut!"
I'm so alone...!
