The Great Conductor Takes a Bow

The Great Conductor Takes a Bow By Elton Camp Some people get far more credit than due And, to them, unmerited honors accrue An orchestra conductor is one of this ilk Those who actually perform he does bilk Really, about the conductor I don’t care Likely, they’d as well if he wasn’t there It seems when the music starts to play He waves his hands in an erratic way If he should have untamed, wild hair The more that the audience will care The music stops & his hands go down To the audience he will then turn around And proceeds, to clapping, to take a bow As if he did the classic music somehow An uncultured hillbilly I may well be But he looks like a big phony to me
