about

This song features the impressive fiddle playing of Jon Russel,

lyrics

She’s awful pretty and I hear your bird can sing
Comes from the city and they say she’s got that thing
Girls want to be her and the boys want in her pants
Give it a beat and tell the tweens it’s time to dance

But where’s the orchestra But where’s the orchestra

If she gets caught with something throw it on the news
Make sure the photo shows her lipstick and her shoes
Turn up the bass and teach the dancers all the cues
The new Madonna, she’s the bomb lets light the fuse

But where’s the orchestra But where’s the orchestra

They’re smoking cigarettes behind the local hang
They play 3 sets a night, sometimes the waitress sings
No one has posters of them up over their bed
But when your girl wants a good time, guess where she heads

To see the orchestra she says “Where’s the orchestra”

Give her a horn section and set that caged bird free
If she belongs there let her go and let it be
The world don’t need another carbon copy hit
If life’s a musical then put her in the pit, cuz

There’s the orchestra That’s where we belong Where’s the Orchestra
Somebody listen to her songs, Yeah Where’s the Orchestra
We hope that you’ll enjoy the show Where’s the orchestra
Sit back and let the evening go. where’s the orchestra I need some music
Where’s the orchestra, cuz they know how to do it.
