Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"We proudly welcome Tony Orlando"
The state fair marquee reads
Inside, one thousand people with yellow ribbons sing
And clap on one and three
[Chorus]
Watch him burn
He's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley, hits from Grease
Watch him burn
He never fails to please
[Instrumental]
Meanwhile in Tahoe, outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says, "Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to three
[Chorus]
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
[Instrumental]
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
[Instrumental]
We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed
