The Trotter Sisters
The stadium was bathing in a half-surreal light
The moon was hanging high above, expectant in the night
A murmur ran around the crowd, their eyes upon the screen
And then the Compare ran onstage, waved his tambourine
And shouted, "Put your hands together for the wonder of the age!
And here they are, The Trotter Sisters, live and back on stage!"
The Rolling Stones had opened, and the Beatles were in tears
Paul was there and so was John, though dead for many years
The Sisters' lastin' legacy was the happiness they'd brought
To countless fans around the world and never falling short
Of serving up a diet of the strange and the obscure
And there they were, The Trotter Sisters, live and back on tour!
The very best contortionists the world had ever seen
Stars of television and of course the silver screen
The audience was in their palm in seven seconds flat
Men were cryin', women shouting, "How did they do that?"
They even had Madonna with them in a backup role
The Trotter Sisters shifted up and out of cruise control
The Trottersphere had gone insane the moment they appeared
Rememberin' and savoring what the girls had pioneered
The creative and inventive way they'd used that barbers' pole
The rubber hood in Hollywood, the night they played the Bowl
Better we forget about the camel and the cage
'Cause there they were tonight
The Trotter Sisters, live and back on stage!
Some said they were better than they had been in their prime
Others with less charity accusing them of mime
But everybody seemed to like the dog that got its bone
Though possibly the monkey was a little overblown?
But no one was remotely or in any way concerned
The Trotter Sisters brilliantly, triumphantly returned
The curtain fell, and after four or five or six encores
The Trotter Sisters finally withdrew from the applause
They'd reassured the audience, at least those few alarmed
Despite all the appearances, no animals were harmed
But if you're of the doubting few who say you can't be sure
Well, go and see The Trotter Sisters, live and back on tour!
