Late Again

Late Again Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin (Footlights show opener)
Part One Late again Late again with the Footlights The Footlights are on late again. Late again Late again at eleven The seven are here late again. Late again It's an opening number We're lumbered with one yet again. Late again So let's get into action The action is here late again. Part Two We're late, everybody's late We're all on time again so it must be Zen Or maybe you could call it fate We're late again. We're in, everybody's in And at the bar they've finished saying when So pardon us if we begin We're late again. We're here, everybody's here Another day has just an hour to run But even if the end is near We've just begun.
