  • She sang the best she'd ever sang
    She couldn't ever sing any better
    But Mister Davidson never rang
    She knew he would forget her

    She'd seen him there
    And put herself to ransom
    He had stared
    He really was quite handsome

    She had really looked her best
    She couldn't ever look any better
    But she knew she'd failed the test
    She knew he would forget her

    Triumphant was the way she felt
    As she acknowledged the applause
    Triumphant was the way she'd felt
    When she saw him at the dressing room door

    She was happier than she'd ever been
    As he praised her for her grace
    But his expression changed, she had seen
    As he leant to kiss her face

    It ended there
    He claimed a late appointment
    She quickly turned
    To hide her disappointment

    She ripped her glittering gown
    Couldn't face another show, no
    Her deodorant had let her down
    She should have used Odorono

    It's smooth sailing with the highly successful sound
    Of wonderful Radio London! Writer/s: PETER DENNIS BLANDFOR TOWNSHEND

  • Tara from Petoskey, MiYeah, Roy, I agree. I listen to this album when I want to just laugh. Especially this song.
  • Roy from Granbania, MaThe Who Sell Out is a very interesting record. It was a good concept (the whole pirate radio idea), but wasn't executed completely consistently. It still ended up being fun to listen to, though.
