Billy Joel - Where's The Orchestra? lyrics

Where's the orchestra?

Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?

Here I am,..

In the balcony,

How the hell could I have missed the overture?

I like the scenery

Even though, I have absolutely no,..idea at all,...

What is being said, despite the dialogue,

There's the leading man

The movie star who never faced an audience

Where's the orchestra?

After all, this is my big night on the town

My introduction to the theatre crowd

I assumed that the show would have a song

So I was wrong

At least I understand

All the innuendo and the irony

And I appreciate,

The roles the actors played

The point the author made

And after the closing lines,

And after the curtain calls,...

The curtain falls...

On empty chairs,.

Where's the orchestra?
