Lyrics
Horns up!
Can't make the big show this year!
Good thing the little one just showed up here!
One day only, parking's free
Same directors that you'd want to meet
No flight, no hotel
No far off town
No far off town
Just the crew from three counties round
Same handshake, smaller room
Same credits gone by noon
Same old friends in a closer place
Same handshake, smaller room
Same embrace,
hey, hey, hey Same embrace,
hey, hey Half the boots, but double the laughs.
Nobody's rushing.
Nobody's fast.
See our stamp before
before you're done
Home by supper, oh, oh, oh, mission won
Same handshake, smaller room, same credits
Gone by noon, same old friends in a closer place
Same handshake, smaller room, same embrace
They call it the little one to warm up the tribe
We call it Tuesday and we show up on time
Not a shrunk down version, not a lesser thing
Just the same big heart in a small array
Same handshake, smaller room
Same credits, gone by noon
Same old friends in a closer place
Same handshake, smaller room
Same embrace
Same handshake Same handshake
Hey, hey, hey
