You been in showbiz long enough, you get a grip on how things work That don´t mean it ain´t a surprise when they come to take your show I been in showbiz long enough, you need to wait your turn
Wait your turn like me
They say the kids don´t wanna see an old dog sing and dance They say they´re done with television, and it ain´t gettin´ a second chance But they never waited for their turn, they just snatched it up from dirt From me
They´re gonna steal my show from me, they´re gonna steal my show When you come in here tellin´ me I´m done, to pack my things, to leave and go You´re comin´ at the oldest dog in here, you need to wait your turn Wait your turn like I did
I been syndicated throughout French Amer They gave me my severance pay but they never gave me a goddamn They just stole my show and gave it up to some fat fuck cryin with a song about di-o-beet-us
Ahmed, my lawyer, he said you can´t do this Ahmed wears a suit and tie, come on, Ahmed´s legit He´s comin´ at you like a paralegal nightmare, I got him stayin´ up at the Ritz We´re gonna get my show back

You´ll never get my show
But they ignored my lawyer, and they ignored my wife And I´m sat here thinking, I hate my god damn life I used to be the number one entertainer, now I´m bumpkin with a knife I´ll never get my show back
So I cut some hose, from the local park And I rigged my car up, now I´m fumin´ in the dark And I´ll tell you all somethin´ bout flyin´, I never have to jump the shark Just to get my show back
We´re gonna get my show back, come on, we´re gonna get my show
