Let me welcome y'all to the show

Everybody ready to party

Brought to you by meatshake

Now I know who y'all came here to see

But before they come out

Uh

We got this one group

Uh

What are they called

Oh that's right

Yeah

Ugly duckling

Everybody

Ugly duckling

How's everybody doin

We're the opening act

We do a couple songs and we don't come back

And when we're finished we'll be hoping you clap

We're the opening act

1 2

What's up y'all

We're the opening act and we're here tonight

At a club near you with the band you like

In fact

It's your favorite band

You're a superfan

Who wouldn't miss it for the world

So you thought up a plan

You bought your tickets in advance

You left your house on time

You drove 45 minutes

Then you waited in line

And when you finally got in and made your way to the stage

You were very disappointed when we started to play

We're the opening act

Please try to be patient

We been writing songs and rehearsin in our basement

This isn't just a gig

It's a place to be seen

And a chance to be heard

See

We're chasin a dream

And we truly hope that you'll enjoy the way we entertain

So when you go home you'll remember our name

We know you waited two years for your favorite band to tour

But you're stuck watchin us who you never heard before

We're the opening act

Some people even poke fun and they laugh

But most just drink and smoke in the back

Know why

We're the opening act

Boom chick boom boom chick

We're the opening act

We get drinks and snacks

And a backstage pass and some money for gas

The stage manager asks

\"Are you ready to go\"

There's only 50 people here and it's a sold out show

Can't we wait until the club is full

\"No

You gotta hurry\"

\"The schedule says you need to be done by 8:30\"

8:30

Why so early

There's a line around the block

\"No one cares about the band in the opening spot\"

We're the opening act

We don't have any hits

The club owner and the show promoter don't know we exist

So we're never on the flyers or the marquees

It's so quiet when we play

I hear people drop their car keys

A couple people rock

A couple people boo

But most just wish that we were through

So the biggest cheer we get is when I say

\"Here's the last song\"

Cause they know the headliner is about to come on

We're the opening act

We hope you have a nice evening

We'll keep working harder and we'll never stop believing

Maybe some day we'll ride the tour bus

And you'll be coming out to see us

But for now we're the opening act

On with the show

We're gonna be in yo town soon

We're the opening act

To the people on the right

We're the opening act

On with the show

Even when promoters give us the cold shoulder

We're the opening act

To the people on the left

Somebody say I wanna rock right now

Come on

Say I wanna rock right now

Everybody

Say I wanna rock right now

Anybody

Come on

Say I wanna rock right now

Please

You guys suck

We are the opening act

That's us

Ugly duckling

Enjoy the show

Here we go
