It’s All About The Work

Sammy

This is so amazing, how helpful everyone is

I could not imagine such people could exist

I’m so very grateful to hear what they all say

sounds like it’s a lot of work, they do it every day

No one mentions stardom, or my dreams coming true

It’s all about the work they say, and that’s just what they do

Learn to take rejection, push forward anyway

and you don’t know if or when you’ll catch a break someday

It’s all about the work.

Is this what I wanted? It takes a lot of drive

I know when I’m singing, I feel the most alive

I can do the work, I just know I can

there isn’t any shortcut to being a leading man

I know I’ve got so much to learn, but I’m here to stay

hang in there and do the work, and it’ll be O K!

(vamp)

Chorus enters, and adds

It’s all about the work.

Go to classes, make auditions, got to pay the rent.

then you got your real job and you’re completely spent.

Then one day you hit your mark, it feels heaven sent

all the work is paying off one hundred ten per cent.

Sammy

I’m so very grateful to every one of you

thank you for your good advice on how to follow through

Chorus (all others)

Kid we got our eye on you, we hope you get a break

keep on trying, do your best with every step you take

It’s all about the work.

Chorus (all others)

This is what he wanted –  yes, he has the drive

Listen when he’s singing, he really comes alive

He can do the work,

Sammy

 yes I know I can

there isn’t any shortcut to being a leading man

Chorus

He knows he’s got so much to learn, but now he has a plan

Sammy

I know I can do it.

Chorus

He knows he can do it.

All sing

It’s All About the Work!
