Analysis of Life Is No Audition
Entertain
Act insane
Cut a chain
Use a brain
Sail to Spain
Life is no audition
Give a smile
Strut a style
Walk a mile
Reject guile
Sail the Nile
Life is no audition
Take a stance
Find romance
Risk a chance
Dare to dance
Sail to France
Life is no audition
Sip the wine
Love the fine
Up and shine
Cross the line
Sail the Rhine
Life is no audition
