Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Again

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch, again

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch, again

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch, again

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch, right

That connects with

Turn, turn, out, in, touch, step

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch

Got it? Going on, and

Turn, turn, touch, down, back, step

Pivot, step, walk, walk, walk

[Verse 2]

Right

Let's do the whole combination

Facing away from the mirror

From the top

Ah, five, six, seven, eight

[Verse 3]

God, I hope I get it

I hope I get it

How many people does he need?

How many people does he need?

God, I hope I get it

I hope I get it

How many boys, how many girls?

How many boys, how many

[Verse 4]

Look at all the people

At all the people

How many people does he need?

How many boys, how many girls?

How many people does he

[Verse 5]

I really need this job

Please God, I need this job

I've got to get this job

[Verse 6]

Stage left boys

Let's do the ballet combination

First group of girls

Second group follows

Ah, one, two, three, four, five, six

[Verse 7]

God, I really blew it

I really blew it

How could I do a thing like that?

How could I do a thing like that?

Now I'll never make it

I'll never make it

He doesn't like the way I look

He doesn't like the way I dance

He doesn't like the way I

[Verse 8]

Alright let me see the boys

The whole group

Ready? Ah, five, six, seven, eight

[Verse 9]

Okay, girls

Ah, five, six, seven, eight

[Verse 10]

God, I think I've got it

I think I've got it

I knew he liked me all the time

Still it isn't over

What's coming next?

It isn't over

What happens now?

I can't imagine what he wants

I can't imagine what he

[Verse 11]

God, I hope I get it

I hope I get it

I've come this far, but even so

It could be yes, it could be no

How many people does he

I really need this job

My unemployment is gone

Please, God, I need this job

I knew I had it from the start

I've got to get this show

[Verse 12]

Who am I anyway?

Am I my resume?

That is a picture of a person I don't know

What does he want from me?

What should I try to be?

So many faces all around, and here we go

I need this job, oh God, I need this show
