[Sam:]

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 IV

Baby, could I bear

Being away from you

I found the vein put it in here

[Blaine:]

I live for the applause, applause, applause

[Artie:]

I live for the applause-plause

Live for the applause-plause

[Ryder (and Marley in the episode version):]

Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me

The applause, applause, applause

[Marley with Artie, Blaine, Ryder and Sam:]

Give me that thing that I love ([Sam:] I'll turn the lights on)

Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch ([Blaine and Sam:] Make it real loud)

Give me that thing that I love ([Sam:] I'll turn the lights on)

Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch ([Sam:] Make it real loud)

[Ryder:]

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E ([Artie:] Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E ([Marley and Artie:] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E ([Artie:] Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E ([Marley and Artie:] Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)

[Sam:]

I've overheard your theory

'Nostalgia's for geeks!'

[Ryder:]

I guess sir, if you say so

Some of us just like to read

[Artie:]

One second I'm a Koons

Then suddenly, the Koons is me

Pop culture was in art, now

Art's in pop culture, in me

[Blaine with Artie, Marley, Ryder, and Sam:]

I live for the applause, applause, applause

[Artie with Blaine, Marley, Ryder, and Sam:]

I live for the applause-plause

Live for the applause-plause

[Ryder and Marley with Artie, Blaine, and Sam:]

Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me

The applause, applause, applause

[Marley with Artie, Blaine, Ryder, and Sam:]

Touch, touch (Oh woah! Oh woah!)

Now, now, now, now, now, now (Oh woah!)

Now, now, now, now, now (Oooh!)
