Private Audition

I got an appointment to keep, for seven nights I couldn't sleep
 I'm in a state of disbelief
 It's my big chance on magic street
 I followed this fashion doll down the famous hall
 "Ginger won't be long at all" She said "Take a number
 You'll be called."
 I said "I'm gonna show him what I can do now it's just between
 Us two." In the grand tradition... Private audition
 (Wish I knew then what I know now)
 I don't know what I did wrong, I thought I really laid it on
 When he called out for some more, I gave him my standard encore
 I gave him the Swanee River, and the good ship Rockin' Rye
 The Stars and Stripes Forever, and good ol' Pal O' Mine
 But that ain't what he was on about
 He was casting for his couch
 He said, "Come on baby, show me what you can do,
 Now it's just between us two.
 In the great tradition... Private audition
