All Of My Friends Were There |
| My big day, it was the biggest day of my life |
| It was the summit of my long career |
| But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer |
| The management said that I shouldn’t appear |
| I walked out onto the stage and started to speak |
| The first night I’ve missed for a couple of years |
| I explained to the crowd and they started to jeer |
| And just when I wanted no one to be there |
| All of my friends were there |
| Not just my friends, but their best friends too |
| All of my friends were there to stand and stare |
| Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay |
| Those who laughed were not friends anyway |
| All of my friends were there to stand and stare |
| Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise |
| I wore a mustache and I parted my hair |
| And gave the impression that I did not care |
| But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair |
| Came the day, helped with a few large glasses of gin |
| I nervously mounted the stage once again |
| Got through my performance and no one complained |
| Thank God I can go back to normal again |
| I went to that old cafe |
| Where I had been in much happier days |
| And all of my friends were there |
| And no one cared |
| Say what they may, all of my friends were there |
| Not just my friends, but their best friends too |
| All of my friends were there |
| Now I don’t care |
