A tribute to Albert Finney’s early film career. I admire his love for transforming into another character & truly giving the audience a PERFORMANCE.

Lyrics:
Off comes the makeup
Off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's fallin'
The music softly dies
But I hope you’re smilin'
As you're filin' out the door
Cuz as they say in this biz
That's all there is, there isn't any more
We've shared a moment
And as the moment ends
I got a funny feelin'
We're parting now as friends
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They have torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls
Your cheers and laughter will linger after
They've torn down these dusty walls
People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this...
