Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

(spoken)
Tiny dancer...
two words...
that strike a chord in the heart of every sensitive 32 year old man and...uh,
A song actually I don't think I'd ever heard until I saw... Almost Famous.
So every night before going to bed, I thank Cameron Crowe, for...
opening up a part of me that I don't think I ever knew... until now.

(sings)
Blue jean baby, LA lady,
seamtress for the band.
Pretty eyed, pirate smiled,
you'll marry a music man.
Ballerina, you must have seen her,
dancing in the sand.
Now she's in me, always with me,
Tiny dancer in my hand.

(spoken)
You know let's skip all the other crap and just get to the chorus, like on that bus scene.
What do you say?
(crowd cheers)
Now, keep going, keep going... keep going, keep going...
(crowd keeps cheering) There you go.
But you know what I really wanted to do, was I wanted to recreate that timeless scene in uh, Almost Famous. I wanted to do kind of like a performance art piece, where I'd have uh, a little kiddie pool and I'd jump in the kiddie pool, and then --on acid, and uh andthen, then someone come and drape a towel on me and then have uh, uh ya know, Craig come behind me and uh, sing along to the, to the song.
But I think what I'm gonna need everybody to do is sing the chorus along so we can really recreate that magic. Right?
(crowd cheers)
OK?
Now I'm gonna count, I'm gonna give you a four count.
(crowd keeps cheering)
HEY THIS IS MY SHOW!
Alright, here we go... One, Two, Three, Four

(singing)
Hold me closer tiny dancer,
count the headlights on the highway,
lay me down in sheets of linen,
you had a busy day today.

(spoken)
One more time, come on! SING IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

(singing)
Hold me closer tiny dancer,
count the headlights on the highway,
lay me down in sheets of linen,
you had a busy day today.
ONE MORE TIME!!
Hold me closer tiny dancer,
count the headlights on the highway,
lay me down in sheets of li....nen,

(singing)
Ballerina,

dancing in the sand.
Now she's in me,
always with me
Tiny dancer, in my hand.

(spoken)
Ok, the teleprompter stopped.
So we gotta do the chorus one more time!

You’re my star, my light
My whole entire life
Without you it was bleary and I cant see why
My friends said James, are you feeling alright?
And I just think that I’m dreaming all night
When I’m with you I feel Ive been saved
And I wanna thank your mum and dad for what They made
So I’m just wanna say I’m gonna keep you
For life, 24/7 I hope too

Hold you closer and don’t let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don’t let go
I’m falling so please girl don’t let go
(Sir Elton John)
Hold me closer tiny dancer (hold me closer, just hold me closer)
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen (Lay me down)
You had a busy day today (hold me close, hold me close)

You’re my perfect dream, were the perfect team
Im the king, you’re the queen
You’re the book that I read
Without you, it feels like there’s no me
And that’s why its you that I just wanna keep
How many that Ive told you that I LOVE YOU
So many times you know I wanna hug you
So come and show me what love means
Cause I don’t really know Ive just seen it in my dreams (I swear)

(Ironik)
Hold you closer and don’t let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don’t let go
Im falling so please girl don’t let go
(Sir Elton John)
Hold me closer tiny dancer (hold me closer, just hold me closer)
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen (Lay me down)
You had a busy day today (hold me close, hold me close)

[Its crazy
I don’t think you recognize how strong my feelings are
So I dedicated this song to you, listen]

Verse 3:
Look, I hope you recognize now what you really mean
Without you I couldn’t do the song I sing
And I hope you like it too, cause its nothing but the truth
You’re not number one but you’ll be soon (believe me)

(Ironik)
Hold you closer and don’t let go
I need to know how you feel too
So hold me closer and don’t let go
Im falling so please girl don’t let go
(Sir Elton John) x2
Hold me closer tiny dancer (hold me closer, just hold me closer)
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen (Lay me down)
You had a busy day today (hold me close, hold me close)

[I hope your taking in the words man, it's IRONIK]

Yelled: Here's a song
Here's a little punk rock song for you
A little punk rock called
I think it was written by the Ramones
In the early 70's
Maybe before they started
You know, when it was really hard core back in the old days
Remember?

Flea,
I could have sworn this was the Dead Kennedys

No no no no no
I think it was Sham 69

No, this is the Buzzcocks

You idiot, you worthless peon
Don't you know this is one of the
It must have been, um
The Sex Pistols

No, this is Non Non Non

Hey, it was the Church or the Weirdoz maybe
