2012 Tonys Recap Song Lyrics

So that's it!
Congratulations to all our winners
I usually close the show with a song
But I've just been told we're running over
Which is a shame, because uh, I don't know
Uh, it was a good one, but...

If I had time, I'd
Sing a little song recapping these awards
A jazzy diddy set to introspective chords
With lyrics that would cite
Who won and lost tonight
With jokes we'd have to write midshow
They'd all be on-topic and each one would rhyme
But there's no time

If I had time
I'd say how Once won once, won twice, then Once won more
In fact it pretty much won everything but score

How Clybourne Park took Play
We made Hugh Jackman's day
Is Harvey Fierstein gay? Who knows?
Then joked that Mike Nichols had just earned his dime
But there's no time

I'd mention Judith and Judy and Tracie as Judy
And Audra, I know, what a shock
Ferris with clappers and Christian's kidnappers
And Christians who rolled with the flock
Oh jeez, did those Jesuses rock

Oh, what a crime
That due to certain people's speeches running long
You'll never get a chance to hear my clever song
Although I could ask less
The head of CBS
Hey Les, do you say yes or no?
The network has spoken, it's telling me I'm
Completely out...of...
[CBS Production Staff]
And we are clear
Thank you everyone, that's a wrap

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
