MAGGI'S ANTICIPATION

My body's all a tremble, the day is here at last,
My mind is racing forward, my heart beats so fast.
I've listened to his records, watched his videos,
Seen his movie many times, and been to his live shows.
I've been a fan for many years, I think Neil is so great,
And now, I'm going to meet him, oh, I can hardly wait!

My favourite radio station, that plays Neil songs each day
Ran a competition, could I win no way!
Front row seats at the concert, and when the songs are through
Backstage, face to face, Neil, what would I say to you?

I dial and the phone rings! Am I caller number ten?
Sorry, Maggi, you're number three, but you can try again..
For two days I keep trying, but I just can't get through,
I'll give up, I know it's useless, what am I to do?
Come on Maggi, one more try, Neil's worth all the stress,
It rings, they answer, have I won? YES. The answer's YES!

I really can't believe it, I laugh, I cry, what bliss,
I'm going to meet and talk to Neil! Maybe even get a kiss*

So now I'm waiting patiently for the limo to be here,
To whisk me off to Melbourne Park, where my idol will appear.

But wait what is happening? Things are not what they seem..
OH NO! I am awake now it was just a beautiful dream..
