"Let's Hear It For Me" lyrics

Well I'll be damned
No. I won't be damned
Because I have been damned
And I won't be damned anymore!
I walked out
He didn't walk out
It was me who walked out
It was me closing the door

Blow the bugle
Sound the cymbal
All my troubles fill a thimble
I'm as happy as it's legal to be
Come on, kids, let's hear it for me

Get the tom-tom
Start the drumming
Cue the chorus
Keep them humming
'Cause I'm climbing off the limb of that tree
Come on, kids, let's hear it for me

For this overwhelming sensation
I could stand a standing ovation
Give my entrance cue to the band
Give the little lady a great big hand

Slide the trombone
Let it swell out
This performance is a sell-out
And the critics and the public agree
I'm the number-one attraction to see
So applaud it and cheer it
Come on now. Let's hear it for me

Standing in the wings
All prepared to start
Usually I'm tense
A pounding in my heart
But now I'm not afraid
Those butterflies are gone
My act is looking great
I can't wait to go on, on

Grab a ticket
Find your row, kid
I am strictly SRO, kid
Tell these ougly boubly feelings I'm free
They been banished by a royal decree
And your head feels so good when you finally clear it
If I saw a worry I wouldn't go near it
Come on now. Come on, kid. Let's hear it
Let's hear it for me
Oh, yeah
