- Let's Save Tony Orlando's House Lyrics / with translationsWe proudly welcome Tony Orlando
The state fair marquee reads
Inside 1000 people with yellow ribbons sing
and clap on 1 and 3
Watch him burn
He's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley: hits from Grease
Watch him burn
He never fails to please
Meanwhile in Taho outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says
"Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to 3
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
Watch it burn
reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
??? splits the scene
We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed
The state fair marquee reads
Inside 1000 people with yellow ribbons sing
and clap on 1 and 3
Watch him burn
He's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley: hits from Grease
Watch him burn
He never fails to please
Meanwhile in Taho outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says
"Dawn, I want you back"
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
Watch it burn
reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
??? splits the scene
We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed
