She sang the best she'd ever sang She couldn't ever sing any better But Mister Davidson never rang She knew he would forget her She'd seen him there And put herself to ransom He had stared He really was quite handsome She had really looked her best She couldn't ever look any better But she knew she'd failed the test She knew he would forget her Triumphant was the way she felt As she acknowledged the applause Triumphant was the way she'd felt When she saw him at the dressing room door She was happier than she'd ever been As he praised her for her grace But his expression changed, she had seen As he leant to kiss her face It ended there He claimed a late appointment She quickly turned To hide her disappointment She ripped her glittering gown Couldn't face another show, no Her deodorant had let her down She should have used Odorono It's smooth sailing with the highly successful sound Of wonderful Radio London!
