It started in Japan back in '71
We all knew it was gonna be fun
Attracted millions of wannabes
Got to admit, one of them's me
Elvis and The Beatles rolled into one
I like singing ABBA's "Dancing Queen"
I even do some Shania Twain
Let's take a ride on the "Pontoon"
Karaoke's Here To Stay
It's never gonna fade away
It's a great way to let off steam
A great way to live your dream
We know now this ain't no fad
Some songs are happy, others are sad
Sing your favorites either way
Karaoke's Here To Stay
Three nights a week I'm at 151
Make my way into The Beaver
I can't wait to get on the stage
I've got karaoke fever
I'm not that good of a singer
Sometimes the worst one in the bar
It don't matter, they all clap
Everyone nowadays is a star
Karaoke's Here To Stay
It's never gonna fade away
It's a great way to let off steam
A great way to live your dream
We know now this ain't no fad
Some songs are happy, others are sad
Sing your favorites either way
Karaoke's Here To Stay
Cheap entertainment, get the most
Be sure and tip the host
Chorus
