[Verse] I rolled into town with my sparkle shoes on My poster’s out there bright as the dawn The band is tuned up and the lights are just right But somebody said I can't sing tonight [Chorus] I haven't paid my show levy oh no I forgot to pay it now the truth's on show Can I hum? Can I lip-sync? Who do I go tell? Who knew a levy could cause me such hell [Verse 2] The janitor laughed said "That's a rookie move" While the ticket guy groaned and tried to disapprove The crowd’s getting restless they're stomping their feet But I owe the levy man couldn't make it complete [Chorus] I haven't paid my show levy oh no The forms on my fridge it's collecting woe Will they let me dance can I still mime tonight? If I pay it next week will they call it alright? [Bridge] The mayor popped up said "You clown around here!" We run a tight ship there's no room for fear But then he tapped his foot and sang out of tune "Fine I'll let you sing but pay me by noon!" [Verse 3] Now the sax player’s jamming and the drummer's alive The crowd is now screaming they’re starting to thrive But deep in my soul I still see the debt That dang show levy ain’t let me go yet
