One More Guitar

A kaleidoscope crowd made a colorful line Today between sunset and vine Where you would be stars played songs on guitars And castanet dancers kept time A little girl shuffled in tiny tap shoes And old man was singing the blues And all of them came to win fortune and fame And none of them thought they would lose Well you're one more guitar in the line the man said Just one more guitar move along I was just one more guitar in that long lonely line But the only one singing this song Hundreds auditioned their talent for free Hoping to be on TV A new talent scout had drawn them all out The beggar the black face and me We all had a minute and some maybe two To show what it was we could do And the judges kept track of act after act And they stopped us before we were through Well you're one more guitar in the line the man said Just one more guitar move along I was just one more guitar in that long lonely line But the only one singing this song The judges all faced me each one in a chair And I wondered just why I was there And I couldn't tell if I'd even done well By then it was too late to care Well you're one more guitar in the line the man said Just one more guitar move along Well I'm one more guitar in this long lonely line But I'm the only one singing this song Yeah I'm the only one singing this song
