Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
She may not be the latest rage
But she's singing, and she means it
And she deserves a little silence

Quiet please, there's a woman up there
And she's been honest through her songs
Long before your consciousness was raised
Now doesn't that deserve a little praise

So put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song
Stand for the ovation and give her one last celebration

Quiet please, there's a person up there
Who's singing of the sins that none of us could bear
To hear for ourselves now give her your respect if nothing else

And put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song
Rise to the occasion and give her one last celebration

Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
Conductor, turn the final page
When it's over, we can all go home
But she lives on on the stage alone

So put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song
Stand for the ovation give her one last celebration

Put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song

Put your hands together, help her along
All that's left of the singers, all that's left of the song
Stand to the occasion give her one last celebration
