Pay The Piper

(álbum: Lighten Up - 1974)

You really got a lot of big breaks
And went right to the top
I guess you thought your good times
Was never gonna stop
But for every song you sang
And every tune you played
Well, did you know someday
You're gonna have to pay the piper
Oh, no

Everybody's saying
You put on quite a show
I hear your music playing
Everywhere I go
But for every song you sang
And every tune you played
Well, did you know someday
You're gonna have to pay the piper
Oh, no, no, no

He'll teach you a tricky tune
That's sure to catch their ear
A melody with a harmony
The world will love to hear
But you better think twice
About the price
You know someday
You're gonna have to pay the piper
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...

Now the show is ending
And everybody's going home
Well, some are gonna go with Jesus
And some are gonna so alone
Yes, and for every song you've sang
And every scene you've blown
Well, did you know someday
You're gonna have to pay the piper
Oh, no, no, no
You're gonna pay the piper
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...
You're gonna pay the piper
Pay the piper, pay the piper
Pay the piper, now, now
