Amateur Hour Songtext
von Sparks

Lawns grow plush in the hinterlands
The perfect little setting for the one night stands
The drapes are drawn and the lights all out
It′s the time to put in practice what you've dreamed about
She can show you what you must do
To be more like people better than you
Amateur hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She′ll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She tells you so
Girls grow tops to go topless in
While we sit and count the hairs that blossom from our chins
Our voices change at a rapid pace
I could start a song a tenor and end as bass
Choose your partners everyone
If you hesitate, the good ones are gone
Amateur hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know


She'll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She tells you so
Amateur hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She'll let you know
Dance, laugh, wine, dine, talk and sing
But those cannot replace what is the real thing
It′s a lot like playing the violin
You cannot start off to be Yehudi Menuhin
So Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She lets you know
Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She tells you so
Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She lets you know
Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She tells you so
Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She tells you so
Amateur Hour goes on and on
And when you turn pro you know
She lets you know
