MUSIC: "All Right Now" by Free

Uh!

Oh, oh, oh! All right!

# There she stood in the street

# Smiling from her head to her feet

# I said, "Hey, what is this now, baby?"

# Maybe she's in need of a kiss

# I said, "He-ee-ey, what's your name, baby?

# "Maybe we can see things the same"

# Now don't you wait or hesitate

# Let's move before they raise the parking rate

# All right now

# Baby, it's all right now... # Huh, yeah

# All right now

# Baby, it's all right now

# Oooh

# Listen, I took her home to my place

# Watching every move on her face

# She said, "Look, man. What's your game?

# "Are you trying to put me in shame?"

# I said, "Slow, babe. Don't go so fa-aa-st

# "Don't you think that love can last?"

# She said, "Love? Lord above!

# "Now you're trying to trick me in lo-oo-oo-ve

# All right now Baby, it's all right now

# All right now Baby, it's-a all right now

# All right now Baby, it's all right now

# All right now Baby, it's all right now

-# Hey, we're so happy together

-All right now

-# Hey, baby, it's all right

-Baby, it's all right now

-# A-AA-All ri-ii-ight

-All right now

-# A-AA-All right

-Baby, it's all right now

-# All right now

-Yeah! A-AA-All right

# It's all right, baby

-# Everything's all right, yeah

-All right now

# Baby, it's all right now

-# Mmmmm

-All right now

-# All right

-Baby, it's all right now. #

# It's not time to make a change

# Just relax, take it easy

# You're still young That's your fault

# There's so much you have to know

# Find a girl, settle down

# If you want, you can marry

# Look at me I am old, but I'm happy

# I was once like you are now

# And I know that it's not easy

# To be calm when you found something going on

# Take your time, think a lot

# Think of everything you've got

# For you will still be here tomorrow

# But your dreams may not

# How can I try to explain

# Cos when I do he turns away again

# It's always been the same, same old story

# From the moment I could talk

# I was ordered to listen

# Now, there's a way and I know that I have to go away

# I know I have to go

# It's not time to make a change

# Just sit down, take it slowly

# You're still young That's your fault

# There's so much you have to go through

# Find a girl, settle down

# If you want, you can marry

# Look at me I am old, but I'm happy

# All the times that I've cried

# Keeping all the things I knew inside

# It's hard But it's harder to ignore it

# If they were right, I'd agree

# But it's them they know, not me

# Now there's a way and I know

# That I have to go away

# I know I have to go. #

APPLAUSE

# They stood upon the deck as the ship went out to sea

# The wind it took the sails

# and left the land a memory

# All upon the shore for to wonder why the sailor goes

# All to close their eyes

# And wonder what the sa-ai-lor knows

# That is you to they

# That is how they think you are

# Ne-ee-ee-ver on the land

# But sailing by the North Star

# That is you to they

# That is how they think you are

# Never on the land

# But gone to find the North Sta-a-r

# To the tower and to the ravens

# And the tale that hopes they will never leave

# But what if they should go?

# We always dread to think of them

# I wonder if they flew one day

# And no-one ever knew they'd gone

# To circle over ships at sea

# Claiming yet another son

# That is you to me

# That is where I think you are

# Never on the land

# But gone to find the North St-a-a-a-ar. #

# There's a new sensation

# A fabulous creation

# A danceable solution

# To teenage revolution

# Do the Strand love

# When you feel love

# It's the new way

# That's why we say

# Do the Strand

# Do it on the tables

# Quaglino's place or Mabel's

# Slow and gentle

# Sentimental

# All styles served here

# Louis says he prefer

# Laissez-faire Le Strand

# Tired of the tango

# Fed up with fandango

# Dance on moonbeams

# Slide on rainbows

# In furs or blue jeans

-# You know what

-I

-mean

# Do the Strand

# Ooh!

# Had your fill of quadrilles

# The Madison and cheap thrills

# Bored with the Beguine

# The samba isn't your scene

# They're playing our tune

# By the pale moon

# We're incognito

# Down the lido

# And we like the Strand

# Arabs at oasis

# Eskimos and Chinese

# If you feel blue

# Look through Who's Who

# See La Goulue

# And Nijinsky

# Do the Strandsky

# Weary of the waltz

# And mashed potato schmaltz

# Rhododendron

# Is a nice flower

# Evergreenin'

# It lasts forever

# But it can't beat Strand power

# The Sphynx and Mona Lisa

# Lolita and Guernica

# Did the Strand. #

# Stir it up, little darlin'

# Stir it up, come on, baby

# Stir it up, little darlin'

# Stir it up, ooh

-# It's been a long, long time

-Stir it, stir it, stir it together

-# Since I've got you on my mind

-Oh-oh, yeah!

-# And now you are here

-Stir it, stir it, stir it together

# I said, it's so clear To see what we could do, baby

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

-Just me and you

# Come on and stir it up little darlin'!

# Stir it up, come on, baby!

# Come on and stir it up

# Little darlin', stir it up!

# Ooh!

-# Yeah, I'll push the wood

-Stir it, stir it, stir it together

# I'll blaze ya fire

# Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire

-# Stir it, stir it, stir it together

-Said, I'll stir it, yeah

# Every minute

-# All you've got to do, baby

-# It's our business to...

-Stir it up

-Ooh, yeah

# Little darlin', stir it up

# Whoa, yeah, yeah. #

# Zoo time is she and you time

# The mammals are your favourite type and you want her tonight

# Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

# You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers

# This town ain't big enough for the both of us

# But it ain't me who's gonna leave

# Flying, domestic flying

# And when the stewardess is near Do not you show any fear

# Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

# You are a khaki-coloured bombardier

# It's Hiroshima that you're nearing

# This town ain't big enough for both of us

# And it ain't me who's gonna leave

# Daily, except for Sunday

# You dawdle into the cafe, where you meet her each day

# Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

# As twenty cannibals have hold of you

# They need their protein just like you do

# This town ain't big enough for the both of us

# And it ain't me who's gonna leave

# Shower, another shower

# You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere

# Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

# The rain is pouring on the foreign town

# The bullets cannot cut you down

# This town ain't big enough

# for the both of us

# And it ain't me who's gonna leave. #

# Jet plane in a rocking chair
