Listen babe, weâve got to move
Weâve only got so many days
The money says they want to see results
They canât afford any more delays
So now focus on this scene
And set aside your sidelong glance
Skip the second act for now
âCause in this town you get one chance
And thereâs no second takes, baby
Weâve got to nail this one
If I get nervous, or laugh, or weep
The whole thingâs going to come undone
Send for the medic
(No, the other medic)
I canât believe it's come to this
I canât define what I need
They donât take it seriously
But with you on board, we canât miss
No second takes, honey
No more lighting tweaks
If we donât roll some film right now
We could be here for weeks
The fire marshall is looking bored
I know theyâll shut us down for spite
I need to see you out of wardrobe
Before we lose our light
Honey, try to understand
I'm overworked and half shut down
I swear the camera will not jam
When your big finish comes around
No second takes, baby
No time to move that flag
Weâre already two weeks behind
We gotta get this movie in the bag
And thereâs no second takes
