I stand here waiting for
You to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying
"Is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an I.V.
Baby could I bear!
Being away from you
I found the vein put it in here!
I live for the
Applause, applause, applause!
I live for the
Applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the
Way that you cheer and scream for me!
The applause
Applause, applause!
Give me that thing that I love!
I'll turn the lights out!
Put your hands up make'em touch!
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love!
I'll turn the lights out!
Put your hands up make'em touch!
Make it real loud!
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud!
Put your hands up, make 'em
Touch, touch!
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud!
Put your hands up, make 'em
Touch, touch!
I've overheard your theory:
Nostalgia's for geeks!
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read!
One second, I'm a Kuntz*
Then suddenly the Kuntz is me!
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me!
I live for the
Applause, applause, applause!
I live for the
Applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the
Way that you cheer and scream for me!
The applause
Applause, applause!
Give me that thing that I love!
I'll turn the lights out!
Put your hands up make'em touch!
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love!
I'll turn the lights out!

Put your hands up, make 'em
Touch, touch!
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
Make it real loud!
Put your hands up, make 'em
Touch, touch!
Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now
I live for the
Applause, applause, applause!
I live for the
Applause-plause
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the
Way that you cheer and scream for me!
