Applause

Lyrics

[SAM] I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong To crash the critic saying: "Is it right or is it wrong?" If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear? Being away from you, I've found the vein, put it in here [BLAINE] I live for the applause, applause, applause [ARTIE] I live for the applause-plause Live for the applause-plause [RYDER] Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause [MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Give me that thing that I love [SAM] (I'll turn the lights on) [MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [BLAINE & SAM] (Make it real loud) [MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Give me that thing that I love [SAM] (I'll turn the lights on) [MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [BLAINE] (Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [ARTIE] (Artie: Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [MARLEY & ARTIE] (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [ARTIE] (Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [MARLEY & ARTIE] (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) [SAM] I've overheard your theory: "Nostalgia's for geeks!" [RYDER] I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read [ARTIE] One second I'm a Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me [BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] I live for the applause, applause, applause [ARTIE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] I live for the applause-plause Live for the applause-plause [RYDER & MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause [BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Give me that thing that I love [SAM] (I'll turn the lights on) [BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [BLAINE & SAM] (Make it real loud) [BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Give me that thing that I love [SAM] (I'll turn the lights on) [BLAINE with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch [BLAINE] (Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [ARTIE] (Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [MARLEY & ARTIE] (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [ARTIE] (Make it real loud) [RYDER with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS] A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E [MARLEY & ARTIE] (Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch) [MARLEY with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS, (ARTIE)] (Now!)
