[VERSE 1] It’s my first show with BAHOS, what a ride it’s been, But this is my first time seeing the backstage scene. Sure, I was here for Tech, and Dress was yesterday, But things were so rushed, I couldn’t find my own way! So tonight as I arrive, with a little time to spare, I’ll take a look around, witness all the madness there! [CHORUS] Backstage, it’s wild back here, backstage! The space is so tight, sometimes feels like a cage. But we laugh and we joke, till the show gets near, Then it’s all go-go-go, with a hint of fear! Props and sets, they’re all in place, Just watch your step, or you’ll fall on your face! [VERSE 2] Back here’s what we call “The Deck,” props stacked up high, Where we joke with the crew till the Stage Manager’s nearby. “Put that prop down, it’s not yours,” they say, Fine, fine, I’ll leave it... for now, anyway! The wings are back here, where we wait for our cue, And try not to trip when we run on through. Up these winding stairs, round and round, I’m getting dizzy, hope I don’t fall down! [CHORUS] Backstage, it’s wild back here, backstage! The space is so tight, sometimes feels like a cage. But we laugh and we joke, till the show gets near, Then it’s all go-go-go, with a hint of fear! Props and sets, they’re all in place, Just watch your step, or you’ll fall on your face! [EXTRA] Backstage, it’s wild back here, backstage! The makeup room’s up top, but the stairs are a maze. With wigs and costumes all in a row, Get yourself ready, it’s time for the show! [BRIDGE] The makeup room—looks like I’m on my own, Guess I’ll just slap some foundation, then I’m fully grown! No wigs for me, but wow, look at those, Do we need that many? Who really knows? And there’s the kitchen for snacks and a sip, But Karen says no, so maybe just a tiny bit. The green room’s here, we call it "The Chill," With screens to see when to head down the hill. CHRIS: And here’s the ladies’ dressing room... can I peek inside? JANE: No men allowed, we’re changing, step aside! HEATHER: He’s welcome here, don’t be shy! PATTY: No he isn’t, say goodbye! CHRIS: Guess I’ll leave them to it, I’ll try the men’s instead. Wait... they spelt my name wrong—no H in "Chris," who’s in my head? Oh well, costume on, I’ll make it fit— See you on stage, I’ll be ready for it! [FINAL CHORUS] Backstage, it’s wild back here, backstage! Costumes on, makeup done, no time to engage! We run and we hide, till it’s our turn to shine, But behind the scenes, we’re having a fine time! Backstage, backstage, the chaos is sweet, But somehow, we make it all complete!
