Opening Ceremony lyrics

by Michael Murphey
She`s always appearing with a band of renown,
You want to go and see her when you`re feeling down,
She`s a breathtaking spectacle with guaranteed hope,
She`ll make you feel good `cause she`s the best thing since soap,
She`ll greet you in the alley with a fortified smile,
She`s the original sideshow and she`s got her own style.
Pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
Yes, I say, pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
`Cause she`s the Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.
Now, she dances on air just like Superman`s child,
Like a field of sheep grazing, she`s wild but she`s mild,
She`s more fun than Colorado and more farout than Maine,
She comes on like thunder and she`s more right than rain,
She`s the mother of earth and the goddess of thirst,
She`s the chicken and the egg and whichever came first.
Pardon my baby, she got to have a chance,
Oh, I say, pardon my baby, she got to have a chance,
`Cause she`s the Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her dance.
Whoo...
SOLO
Oh, my, somebody get the piano player a drink of water...
Yeah, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
Yeah, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun,
Yes, she`s the Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run,
Whoo, my-my.
