Mandy and the Leapers
Mandy and the Leapers: Revelry in Theatrical Splendor
Lyrics
Oh! Look at those throwaways twisting in the shadows while the house lights fade
Observing discarded or overlooked individuals moving in the darkness as the lights in the house dim
Oh! To the snap of our applause the leader of the band gets up
Upon receiving applause, the leader of the band acknowledges us with a wave
To us he waves
The band leader gestures to the audience to settle in and brace themselves
“Grab your seats, Love. Hold on to your elevators”
An instruction or suggestion to hold onto one's seats or emotions in anticipation
We are here sitting with the pimps and theatre queers
Describing the audience's diverse composition, including unconventional individuals
Let the show begin
The commencement of the performance
You'll love her sweetly, deeply
Assurance that the audience will deeply admire Mandy's performance
Mandy and the Leapers tonight
Highlighting the main act, Mandy, and her backing performers, the Leapers, for tonight's show
Oh! Dancing like a flame, the Leapers all have zombie eyes
Describing the Leapers' dancing with vacant or lifeless gazes, likening them to zombies
But we don't mind
The audience doesn't mind the Leapers' zombie-like appearance
Oh! And Mandy's such a queen, blissfully obscene
Praising Mandy as a regal figure, unapologetically bold and provocative
She hides nothing
Emphasizing Mandy's openness and lack of concealment in her actions or personality
Talk to the right guy, Mandy just might spend the night
Suggesting that with the right approach, Mandy might spend time with someone for the night
We are here sitting with the pimps and theatre queers
Reiteration of the audience's diverse composition, including unconventional individuals
Let the show begin
The continuation or repetition of the show's commencement
You'll love her sweetly, deeply
Reaffirmation that the audience will deeply appreciate Mandy's performance
Mandy and the Leapers tonight
Reemphasizing Mandy and the Leapers as the central focus of the night's show
“Grab your seats, Love. Hold on to your elevators”
Repetition of an earlier instruction or suggestion to hold onto one's seats or emotions
We are here sitting with the pimps and theatre queers
Reiteration of the audience's diverse composition, including unconventional individuals
Let the show begin
Repetition of the commencement of the show
You'll love her sweetly, deeply
Reaffirmation that the audience will deeply appreciate Mandy's performance
Mandy and the Leapers
Reemphasizing Mandy and the Leapers as the central focus of the night's show
