Big Ideas

Lyrics

Well that's quite a number to sing
 Spotlit, getting lowered in
 Can you co-direct and play the twins
 And adapt the main theme from mandolins?
 I've conjured up wonderful things
 The ballad of what could've been
 Over and out
 It's been a thrill
 I had big ideas, the band were so excited
 The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
 But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
 And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
 ♪
 Coordinated release
 Nationwide festivities
 We had 'em out of their seats
 Waving their arms and stomping their feet
 Some were just hysterical scenes
 The ballad of what could've been
 Over and out
 Really, it's been a thrill
 I had big ideas, the band were so excited
 The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
 But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
 And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
 ♪
 I just can't for the life of me remember how they go
