My big day, it was
the biggest day of my life
It was the summit of
my long career
But I felt so down
and I drank too much beer
And my manager said
that I should not appear
I walked out onto the stage
and started to speak
The first night
I've missed for
a couple of years
I explained to the crowed
and they started to jeer
And just when I wanted no
one to be there
All of my friends were there
Not just my friends
but their best friends too
All of my friends were there
to stand and stare
Say what they may, all of their
friends need not stay
Those who laughed
were not friends anyway
All of my friends were there
to stand and stare
Days went by, I walked around
dressed in a disguise
I wore a mustache
and I parted my hair
And gave the impression
that I did not care
But oh, the embarrassment
oh, the dispair
Came the day, helped with a few
last glasses of gin
I nervously mounted
the stage once again
Got through my performance
and no one complained
Thank God I can go back
to normal again
I went to that old cafe
Where I had been
in much happier days
And all of my friends were there
And no one cared
Say what they may
all of my friends were there
Not just my friends
but their best friends too
All of my friends were there
Now I don't care
