The Lyrics
Okay, camera
Keep on filmin', buddy
We'll fix all this in post
(Can't afford cuts)
(This film is a big mess)
We can fix this
Just keep filmin' buddy
Zoom in, now zoom out
We'll cut that flub out
Hold up, hold up
Where the hell is the prop guy now?
Ease in, now ease out
Pan up, now pan down
Don't cut, don't cut
We'll fix this in editing, now
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Now I know they'll be lovin' this film right here
I.M.D.B. knows we've worked for years
Just ignore the strings, they're really in the air
CG guys take care of that, don't stare
One, two, three more scenes for this set
Then we all can get off and pick up our cheques
Let's film that run again, son
Don't fuck it up
We can't afford cuts
So don't eat the film up
(Metaphor, bud)
Zoom in, now zoom out
Don't laugh or you're out
Recast, recast
It will all make some sense, somehow
Ease in, now ease out
Hoist up, now hoist down
Hold up, hold up
Don't make them hit the ceiling now
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
HEY all of you background extras (what?)
Wanna keep being extras? (yeah)
Well, stop being so loud ('kay)
In the way and you'll be fired (oh)
It's a difficult scene right here (uh-huh)
And we're tryin' to get it right (yah)
But our budget is quite minimal
And, uh, we are short on time (oh)
Oh great, now the set
Is falling to bits
I've got some duct tape
Always useful for a quick fix
Quickly write some
Lines about an earthquake
That should make
The damage make sense, new take!
(Did I say "cut"?)
Zoom in, now zoom out
Now duck your head down
Look out, look out!
It's the evil monster-thing, wow!
Don't smirk or laugh now
Just move or drop down
Come on, come on
We'll replace the prop in post, now
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Lights, camera and action
Don't wanna waste time on any cuts
All you actors, all you stuntmen
Let's get on with it, I'm late for a meeting
Stop flubbing, quit corpsing
We still haven't gotten to the forklift
Hey, I'm the director
And I wanna get this film done today
Zoom in, now zoom out
Don't fall asleep now
Wake up, wake up
Or I'm gonna cut your pay now
Ease in, now ease out
Don't smirk, or I'll shout
Come on, come on
This megaphone ain't for show, now
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Zoom in, now zoom out
Stagehands get out now
Piss off, piss off
Cause you're messing up the shot now
Ease in, now ease out
Pan up, then pan down
Wrap up, wrap
Then we can all get some chow
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
Keep filmin', filmin', filmin', filmin'
