Make It All so Real
Steve Forbert

Take your seat in the table

Watch the cabaret fill

Ted came down for the singer

He saw the name on the bill


How the minutes were draggin'

As the audience grew

Ted was growing impatient

As he swallowed his brew


It's time to welcome the artist

He heard somebody say

Saw a face in the floodlight

And everything was okay


Singer man, do your work

Sing your song, make it hurt

Sing the tears, sing the pain

Make it all so real


Then the singer was singing

All his serious songs

And his Band wa a-playing

And Ted was hummin' along


Meanwhile back in a corner

There was a table for two

Where sat the singer's cute lover

And she was drinkin' a few


All snuggled up with a stranger

Who had his hand on her thigh

She was receivin' his message

And gazing into his eyes


Singer man, do your work

Sing your song, make it hurt

Sing the tears, sing the pain

Make it all so real


So the sound came a-rollin'


Tumblin' into the night

And all the people were ravin'

Sayin', Man, our singer's alright


He's such a burnin' performer

What a fabulous show

Little lover was stirrin'

She was ready to go


An' while the singer was wailing

She got up to depart

The crowd was stompin' and cheering

She was breakin' his heart


Singer man, do your work

Sing your song, make it hurt

Sing the tears, sing the pain

Make it all so real


Ted was feelin' terrific

As the crowd filtered out

Ravin' on 'bout the hero

There were whistles and shouts


There was a guy with his sweetheart

Ted came walkin' on past

He could hear what was spoken

He could hear what she asked


She said, Don't you envy the hero?

An' the fella answered his girl

Yes, he's the ultimate singer

He's on top of the world


Singer man, do your work

Sing your song, make it hurt

Sing the tears, sing the pain

Make it all so real
