The Lights Stayed On
(To the tune of The Beat Goes On by Sonny and Cher)
Work in the theater just keeps going on
'Cause the lights stayed on Yeah the lights stayed on
La de da da de La de da de da
The basement flooded up this high, uh huh
The school lost its water supply, uh huh
The lights went off all around the school
But in the theater everyone stayed cool
The hammers just kept hammering the wood
Behind the cyke is where my friends and I stood
The set crew just kept working on, uh huh
The actors just kept rehearsing on, uh huh
Work in the theater just keeps going on
'Cause our lights stayed on Yeah the lights stayed on
La de da da de La de da de da
The water in the paint room still comes out
And it still comes out the dressing rooms' water spout
The light and sound crews did their work the same
Down more rain and thunder and lightning came
Didn't notice 'til we got back in the room
The clock had stopped the bell would ring real soon
Props and costumes got put away real fast
The principal vocally dismissed us at last
Work in the theater just keps going on
'Cause our lights stayed on Yeah the lights stayed on
La de da da de La de da de da
