Don't make me sad   Talkin' about tomorrow   It's not so bad   We were doing fine just then   Move on up, you'll move on out   And you won't cry   'Cause your amateur hour is over   You're only going where I've been   And you'll see what I've seen      You're no amateur   Amateur   You know if someone likes your face   You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur   It's strictly for amateurs   The world could be a better place   If some of us could stay   Amateurs      There's no more time   To think about the way ahead   Just miss one line   Fall over, you'll be left for dead   Your heart will play no part except   When memories of your amateur hour take over   Then screw yourself into a ball   And keep it rollin' on      You're no amateur   Amateur   You know if someone likes your face   You'd be a fool to stay strictly amateur   It's strictly for amateurs   The world could be a better place   If some of us could stay   Amateurs      Don't make me sad   It's not so bad
