My Night - Dr. Syntax

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me!

Oi!

Dr. Syntax?

Can I have a word please?

Umm… Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me, hi;

my name is Blah Bah Blah

I’m a friend of a guy you once met in some bar

On some night, in some town

Yeah, you were some star on the open mic

Word is you showed some class

And some honeys asked when you’re coming back

Ever since you showed up, the locals don’t even want to rap

You’ve got a gift kid

That’s some sick shit

You wanna get yourself around;

make some quids quick

Yeah, anyway, what I meant to say

Me and my mate are putting on nights now

And you could get to play

And obviously you’d be getting paid

You’re interested?

Great!

That’s settled then, let’s set a date

I’ll put you down for a support slot

For someone known, who performs lots

You might have bought his stuff, he’s got loads out and it’s all hot

And I’ve got no doubt he’s gonna go down a sure shot

But he won’t get all the props

Your show’s rowdy, and the whole crowd’ll treat you like you’re some sort of God

I’ll call you in the week before it’s on, it’s gonna be awesome!

I’ll leave you with that thought then I’m gone

Come to my night

You’re someone that the punters might like

‘Cos you’re wily, high, plus you’re the right price

So that’s why I’m acting like Mr. Nice Guy

All smiles;

never showing you my sly side

Come to my night

It’s gonna be fucking dope

Champagne reception

No expenses spared

You’re the star mate

We’re gonna put you on — whoa, such an honour!

Ah, hi!

Nice to see you made it

It’s a shame you couldn’t make the sound check around 8-ish

But that’s cool, we’ll sort the levels out

I can’t really stop and chat though, it’s getting pretty stressful now

What’s that?

They won’t let your mate in

Even though you explained your both supposed to be playing

I’ll see what I can do

But I can’t promise great things

Security’s tight and they take some persuading

Yeah, I had a word and what they’re now saying

Is absolutely no one else is getting in without paying

I know it sounds lame but

But if your mate pays now we’ll sort him out later without failure

We’ll settle all debts of course

Oh yeah, do you mind if you go on earlier than we said before?

The main act said there’s 4 of his friends on tour

So that means there’s an extra set in store

I’d love to get you all a drink but our budget is fucked

So I’m sorry, but we really can’t stretch it more

The other guy that’s playing is hibernating in his hotel where we left a 100

pound rider waiting

I’m afraid there’s no back room

Oh that room?

Sorry man, that’s for the other rap group

They’re some really bad dudes, known for acting uncouth

So the only way you’re getting in is if they wanna shag you

I know you don’t feel valued

But that’s too bad

Management rules;

I run it how I have to

Remember when we said you have some cash due?

Well that rumour that we can’t afford to pay?

Hmmm… that’s true

We made a major loss today

Sorry mate, there’s only enough to cover travel costs you paid

Next time, we’ll have some profits raised

Money in our coffers and we’ll offer you a proper wage

What you mean we don’t show you respect?

Don’t let a little recognition go to your head

It’s us that put you on, so you owe us a debt

You should just be chuffed with any fucking show you can get

Come to my night

Naah!
