Epilogue Lyrics — Bandstand

[BETSY, spoken]
Excuse me, Mr. Nova, I’m awfully sorry to bother you, but could I have your autograph? My father served.

[DONNY, spoken]
Sure thing. Show that to someone at the door tomorrow night. They’ll take you and your family backstage. I’d like to meet him.

[BETSY, spoken]
Yes, sir.

[DONNY]
Bobby Soxers swoon at my charms

[JULIA, spoken]
Oh, give me a break.

[DONNY]
Backed up by my brothers in arms

[YOUNG WOMAN, spoken]
It is them. It’s the Donny Nova Band!

[WAYNE, spoken]
Oh, no...

[ANNOUNCER, spoken]
Chicago’s Chez Paree nightclub is proud to present the kick-off engagement for the nationwide tour of the boys and girl that have captured America’s hearts. Direct from the sold-out run at the world-famous Rainbow Room in New York, it’s The Donny Nova Band!
[DONNY & JULIA]
So get outta my way
Find somebody else
Who gives a fig what you say
Go discipline someone other

Last time I checked
You were not my mother

[DONNY, spoken]
Hello, Atlanta! We love your Southern hospitality.

[JULIA, spoken]
Philadelphia, you do show love for your brothers!

[OLIVER, spoken]
I keep telling ‘em to go play someplace else, but they just keep comin’ back. Cleveland welcomes home the Donny Nova Band –

[MRS. ADAMS, spoken]
Featuring Julia Trojan!

[DONNY, JULIA, MRS. ADAMS, THE BAND, & ENSEMBLE]
You know who tells me stop?
You know who tells me
You don’t have what it takes
And you will never reach the top?
You know who tells me stop?
No, no, no
No, no
Nobody
