Lyrics

Well, Bob, they finally booked the two of us in tandem
We can't come on and just sing songs at random
Hmm
How will we handle this project to which we have lent ourselves?
Yeah
We've agreed to put ourselves on exhibition
It's the two of us from now 'til intermission
We ought to come up with a logical way to present ourselves
We got a problem
Partly protocol
Partly procedure
Partly pride
Which of us is the frim-fram sauce?
And which is the shafafa...
On the side?
In other words
Who's on first?
We got a show to do here
Who's opening for who here?
How do we run this date?
Who's on first?
Are you the mesmerizer?
Am I the appetizer?
We better negotiate
Say I come up and get roaring, and really tear up the place
Then you come on and get boring
Well, that, that's known as a change of pace
Anyhow, who's on first?
It's really an urgent matter
Who's the former and who's the latter?
We better get this straight
It's not a suggestion of who is the best or worst
It's simply a question of who's on first?
Who leads off?
Which one's the cleanup hitter?
It's something we should consider
We'd better get off the dime
Who starts out?
Which one begins the show now?
Which one gets up to go now?
We're wasting precious time
I know
Say I get up and amuse them?
Maybe a big mistake
For you to get up and then lose them
Assuming they're still awake
Well, anyway, we rehearsed, so let's get this problem solved now
Let's not get too involved now
After this opening hello, which fellow follows which fellow?
Like Abbott explained to Costello
Who's on...
Who's on first?
Hey
Well, you either win or lose, because I'm going out first
I don't know what that- Rigged
The deal is rigged, but Bo- Bob Dorough will be back
Have a good time
Thank you
See you right out here
