Night Magic - Clap Clap (mirror Song) Lyrics

(Michael) I never thought I'd get this far 

(Audience) We always knew you
would 



(Michael) I've put a little weight on 



(Audience) Not really, it looks good. 



(Michael) These lines
around my mouth are new 



(Audience) They're the lines of wisdom




(Michael) This puffiness around my eyes? 



(Audience)
The burden of the kingdom! 



(Michael) You know I like to talk with
you 



(Audience) We do too, we never knew 

Someone who we
could talk to 

Who was quite as smart as you. 



We would like
to hear you talk all night 

But tell us if we might 

Interrupt you
with applause 

If you should chance to pause. 

We would love to
rock the walls 

Again and again with curtain calls 

And a standing
ovation 

For your brilliant conversation ... 



(Michael)
Clap, clap! 

Now silence 



Have you noticed people wear...




(Audience) Copies of your favourite hat? 



(Michael)
You have noticed that my dears? 



(Audience) O yes we have noticed
that. 



(Michael) They wear copies of my shoes 



(Audience) Two by twos they wear your shoes 



(Michael) And they
like to sing my blues 



(Audience) Echoes of your ah's and ooh's.




(Michael) You know I like to talk with you 



(Audience) We do too, we never knew 

Someone who we could talk to 

Who was quite as smart as you. 



(Michael) I'm afraid that I've
become 

For nearly everyone 

A model of behaviour 

A devil or
a saviour. 



(Audience) He's afraid that he's become 

For next
to nearly everyone 

The very latest model of behaviour 

He's a
devil, he's a saviour
