I was a paperboy back when there was paperboys
Bookstores and record shops, bricks and mortar
Now I made the cover but I can't pay the band
What's more important is we're building a brand
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Pass the hat for pennies, kickstart some fans
If you can tweet something brilliant, you got a marketing plan
Jinglin' and janglin,' living in a van
If we can just sell some t-shirts we could pay for the gas
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands I'm a song and dance man
Now that the future has swallowed the past
It's one step forward and two steps back
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands I'm a song and dance man
Everybody clap your hands for the song and dance man
You gotta do what ya can when you're a song and dance man
