MUSIC: "The Smurf Song" by Father Abraham

# Where are you all coming from?

# From Smurfland where we belong

# Are you talking just like us?

# No, we Smurf, it's much less fuss

# Do you do things that we don't dare?

# We are real Smurfs so we don't care

# This is a song with a nice refrain

# Yes, we will sing it once again

# The flute Smurf begins

# Yes, sing along

# La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la

APPLAUSE

# I'm in love again

# Been like this before

# I'm in love again

# This time's true, I'm sure

# Don't want to end up like no nine day wonder

# Oh-oh, oh

# I've been hurt so many times before

# Oh-oh, oh

# So, my darling I will never leave you

# Oh-oh, oh

# It's in my blood to always love you more

# Love you more

# It's my heart again

# That drives me so wild

# I just can't explain

# Although I'm not a child

# So why would I cry if you ever left me?

# Oh-oh, oh

# Maybe cos you're all I'm living for

# Oh-oh, oh

# With every heartbeat I want you madly

# Oh-oh, oh

# It's in my blood to always love you more

# Love you more

#, Oh my love again

# What I say is true

# Though it may sound plain

# I love you

# And it means more to me than life can offer

# Oh-oh, oh

# And if this isn't true love then I am sure

# Oh-oh, oh

# That after this love there'll be no other

# Oh-oh, oh

# Until the razor cuts. #

That's The Buzzcocks with the sound of 78 and Love You More.

Marshall Hain, number five, Dancing In The City.

If you've come out of a bath and you've had a good Thursday

so far, this is going to make it a bit better.

If you've lost the soap, we've got a bit more.

Here's Showaddywaddy at number 11.

# A little bit of soap

# Will wash away your lipstick

# On my face

# A little bit of soap

# Will never

# Never, never, ever erase

# The pain in my heart

# And my eyes

# As I go through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# Mmm, a little bit of soap

# Will take away your powder from my chin

# A little bit of soap

# Will never

# Never, never, ever begin

# To take away the hurt

# That I feel

# As I go through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# Have you heard, when love begins to die

# He isn't one to cry

# Night and day

# Like a bird You left the robin's nest

# And just like all the rest You flew away

# Ooh, a little bit of soap

# Will take away your perfume eventually

# A little bit of soap

# Will never

# Wash away the memory

# Of your name

# In the night

# That I call through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# No, I'll never lose the memory of your name in the night

# That I call through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# Mm, it's never, never, never, never

# Going wash away my tears

# Mmm, never wash away my tears. #

APPLAUSE

All good, clean fun. Showaddywaddy at number 11 with A Bit Of Soap.

# Let them live to be free

# Riding into the sunset

# I wish I could be

# And through the prairie lands

# Trying to do what's right

# The folks would come to me

# They'd say, "We need you here"

# I'd stay there for the night

The geezer in the middle back there with the suit on,

umbrella and bowler hat is none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He wrote Argentine Melody, a famous little melody done by San Jose.

San Jose, or is it Rodizio Argentino?

Whoever, Argentine Melody.

HE MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY

The next number is absolutely beautiful.

For Ever Autumn. It's from the concept album War Of The Worlds.

Welcome to Top Of The Pops one Justin Hayward.

# The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

# And darker days are drawing near

# The winter winds will be much colder

# Now you're not here

# I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky

# And one by one they disappear

# I wish that I was flying with them

# Now you're not here

# Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

# Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

# Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

# You always loved this time of year

# Loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

# Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

# A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

# As if to hide a lonely tear

# My life will be forever autumn

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here. #

APPLAUSE
