Текст Janis Ian – Applause

Applause, applause
Give the singer a chance
Treat her right
Be polite

Applause, applause
Give the singer a break
How much can you give
How much can you take

Give the singer a chance
Wanna give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe she will dance

Applause, applause
She’ll stand upon her head
Applause, applause
She’ll take you to her bed
And share with you the memories
Of dreams she can’t forget

Applause, applause
Let’s give the prize
To the little lady
With the stars in her eyes

And I’ll sell my soul for a song
Pay the price and carry on
And share with you the memories
Of dreams I can’t forget
Of lovers I have met

Applause, applause
Let’s give the prize

Applause, applause
Give the singer a chance
Treat her right
Be polite
Maybe she will dance

Applause, applause
Give the singer a break
How much can you give
How much would it take

Give the singer a chance
Give the singer a chance
Anything to buy your soul
And maybe she will dance
Maybe she will dance
Maybe she will dance
