Dame Shirley Bassey Electric Proms

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Diamonds are forever

# They are all I need to please me

# They can stimulate and tease me

# They won't leave in the night

# I've no fear that they might

# Desert me

# Diamonds are forever

# Hold one up and then caress it

# Touch it, stroke it and undress it

# I can see every part

# Nothing hides in the heart

# To hurt me

# I don't need love

# For what good will love do me?

# Diamonds never lie to me

# For when love's go-o-o-one

# They lustre o-o-o-on

# Diamonds are forever

# Sparkling round my little finger

# Unlike men, the diamonds linger

# Men are mere mortals who

# Are not worth going to

# Your grave for

# I don't need lo-o-o-ove

# For what good will love do me?

# Diamonds never lie to me

# For when love's go-o-o-one

# They lustre o-o-o-on

# Diamonds are forever

# Forever, forever

# Diamonds are forever forever, forever

# Forever

# And eve-e-e-er. #

INTRO TO "Big Spender".

# The minute you walked in the joint

# I could see you were a man of distinction

# A real big spender

# Good looking

# So refined

# Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?

# So let me get right to the point

# I don't pop my cork for every man I see

# Hey, big spender

# Spend

# A little time with me

# Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?

# How's about a few laughs, laughs?

# I could show you a

# Good time

# Let me show you a

# Good time

# The minute you walked in the joint

# I could see you were a man of distinction

# A real big spender

# Good looking

# So refined

# Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?

# You would? So let me get right to the point

# I don't pop my cork for every man I see

# Hey, big spender

# Hey, big spender

# Hey, big spender

# Spend

# A little time with me-e-e-e! #

Yes!

Thank you!

It's called Performance.

# Grey face

# Stiff upper lip

# Will do the trick

# Look

# The mask is firm

# The face is mine

# It seems fine

# Until the final day

# I'll play this part

# The only way I can

# For to live

# I have to give

# The performance

# Of my life

# What's the truth?

# Well, I won't bore you with the truth

# I knew it would be tough

# Right from day one

# But you go on

# Until...

# The final day

# I played this part

# The only way I can

# For to live

# I have to give

# The performance

# Of my li-i-i-fe

# Make it to the top

# Although the road was steep

# And there I had a dream

# A vision of love

# Revealed in sleep

# Right on cue

# I fell in love with you

# You caused many a tear

# I had applause

# I had a career

# Until the final day

# I played this part the only way I can

# For to live

# I have to give

# The performance

# Of my

# Li-i-i-i-i-i-fe. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

# I am what I am

# I am my own special creation

# So come take a look

# Give me the hook

# Or the ova-a-a-ation

# It's my world

# That I want to have a little pride in

# My world that is not a place

# I have to hide in

# Life's not worth a damn

# Till you can say

# Hey, world

# I am what I a-a-am

# I am what I am

# I don't need praise

# I don't need pity

# I'll beat my own drum

# Some think it's loud

# I think it's pretty

# And so what

# If I love each feather and each spangle

# Why not try and see things

# From a different angle?

# Your life is a sham

# Till you can say

# Hey, world

# I am what I am

# I am what I am

# And what I am needs no excuses

# I deal my own deck

# Sometimes the ace

# Sometimes the deuces

# There's one life and there's no return and no deposit

# One life so it's time

# To open up your closet

# Your life is a sham

# Till you can say

# Hey, world

# I a-a-am

# Wha-a-a-at

# I a-a-am. #

# Goldfinger

# He's the man

# The man with the Midas touch

# A spider's touch

# Such a cold finger

# Beckons you

# To enter his web of sin

# But don't go in

# Golden words he will pour in your ear

# But his lies can't disguise what you fear

# For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her

# It's a kiss of death

# From Mr Goldfinger

# Pretty girl

# Beware of his heart of gold

# His heart is co-o-old

# Golden words he will pour in your ear

# But his lies can't disguise what you fear

# For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her

# It's the kiss of death

# From Mr Goldfinger

# Pretty girl

# Beware of his heart of gold

# His heart is cold

# He loves only gold

# Only gold

# He loves gold

# He loves only gold

# Only gold

# He loves

# Go-o-o-old. #
