I'll Take That Applause

[Intro]

—I gots a little bed in the back of the house

I gots a little bed in the back of the house

It has one door and one winder

—Two windows

—Two winders and one door

If I ever get inside there I'd shut the doors after me

That'll be, that'll be the day

[Verse 1]

And I'll take that applause because I deserve it

The audience is but vapor in my hand

[Verse 2]

And I'll take that applause because I need it

Six-winged seraphs flying over my head

[Chorus]

Nothing ever after

Nothing ever after

[Verse 3]

And I'll take that applause because I lose it

Cherubim and diadems and little birds that sing

[Chorus]

Nothing ever after

Nothing ever after

[Verse 4]

And I'll take that applause because I deserve it

I saw you drop what came out of your head?

[Chorus]

Nothing ever after

Nothing ever after
