Lyrics
Listen to that
Will you listen to that?
Do you know what that means?
Let me tell you what that means
Wait, no, anyone who even thinks it
Don't say it, you'll jinx it
Listen to that
Will you listen to that?
Does that make you feel proud?
Well, feel more than just proud
Okay, wait, I'll tempt fate
And I'll state it out loud
That unless I miss
My guess is
I can't stand it!
Listen!
Yes!
That's the sound of a hit
It's a hit!
Gang, I think
This is it
No more writing clever little shows
For those basement saloons
No more proclamations from the pros
That you can't hum the tunes
No more sneaking in at intermission
To the place you wish you could afford
Or producers having you audition
Whenever they're bored
And who'll say right away
As you play the first chord
"Boys, that's just great, but next time
Don't be so clever!"
It's a hit!
We're a hit!
You're a hit!
You should quit!
No more coaching those sopranos
With voices like bees
No more secondhand pianos
With six broken keys
No more agents giving you opinions
While they turn you over to their minions
Just for these guarantees
We should at least thank the Lord
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
We are in-laws to spit
After all that baloney
They made you go through
All that muttering that you're a phony
'Cause what do you do
Will their faces be stony
When they see on their Sony
Someone handing the phony
The Tony Award?
I would like to begin by thanking everyone who turned
Down everything I have written so I could win this!
It's a hit!
Hold it, folks, there's still the reviews left
Both the Trib and the News left
Early, surly
Not a good sign
Also, even if there's a chance, folks
Let's not forget the advance, folks
Not a lotta cash, folks
Also, even if it's a smash, folks
Doesn't that mean we sell out?
Well, I hope we sell out
What I mean is sell out
Well, you know
Success is like failure
It's how you perceive it
It's what you do with it
Not how you achieve it
And I can't believe
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's aโ!
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Tell me, is that a noise, or is that a noise?
That is the noise we've been waiting
The whole of our lives to hear
Listen to that!
Will you listen to that?
Buddy, is that a noise, or is that a noise?
Where's the machine?
Gotta get it on tape for our wives to hear
Listen to that!
That's obscene!
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
Will you listen to that?
That's the sound of an audience losing its mind
It's the hope on its balcony blessing mankind
Folks, it's funny
Earl Fidler and Dolly
Combined!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a palpable hit!
If it only even lasts a minute
At least it's a wedge
It's the theater and we're really in it
But just on the edge
If your spirits ever need improving
You can drop in any night for free
But the thing that's positively moving
You could have fooled me
Is we're still good friends
Nothing can kill good friends
Where there's a will, good friends
Don't need success to survive
And us good friends
What's to discuss, good friends?
We've got a sharp eyed
Genuine
Block away
Blockbuster
Might of
Broadway
But all a sensational
Box office
Bada bada
Gargantuan hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
It's a hit!
