PACE INCREASES

# I never went much for walking in the air

# Life without care cramps my style

# No more, it seems Will the girl of my dreams

# Be impressed by the promises of one

# Who has yet to make his pile

# I tell you this They're more concerned with profit

# Than the machinations of it

# Or pronunciations of the way

# You got it

# Money Money makes the world go round

# Money is a girl's best friend

# Money Money, when the chips are down

-# Money is a girl's best

-Money is a girl's best

# Money is a girl's best friend

# I don't have time for moonlit nights

# Walking on the sunny side brings blood rushing to my eyes

# And I, I'm reliably informed

# That romance is just the fancy of those weak

# Incapacity to think with audacity where ladies are concerned

# Money Money makes the world go round

# Money is a girl's best friend

# Money Money, when the chips are down

-# Money is a girl's best

-Money is a girl's best

# Money is a girl's best friend

-# What a busy life we lead

-What a busy life we lead

# Life we lead

# Chasing round in circles in the wild pursuit of gain

# This way, that way Give it to me anyway

-# Just give me some more

-Some more

# This way, that way Give it to me anyway

# Open up the goodie store

# This way, that way

# This way, that way

# This way, that way

# Open up the goodie store. #

That was, ladies and gentlemen, a wee bit of Contempt,

the name of the group there, and Money Is A Girl's Best Friend.

I have a girl who is everybody's best friend now. One of Legs & Co,

it is the lovely Pauline and she's dancing to Rose Royce's immense hit,

I Wanna Get Next To You.

# Sitting here in this chair

# Waiting on you

# Aaah, baby, to see things my way

# But not a word do you say

# You won't even look my way, yeah

# Girl, I'm spending my dimes Wasting my time

# Talking till I'm black and blue

# Oh, can't you see?

# I wanna get next to you-ooh

# Dreams of you and I go sailing by

# Whenever your eyes meet mine

# You're so fine

# And, girl You make me feel so insecure

# You're so beautiful and pure

# Why must you be unkind?

# And tell me I'm not your kind Blowing my mind

# Girl, my, my money is low And I know

# That I can't take you to the fancy places

# You might wanna go

# Still, I wanna get next to you

-# I wanna get next to you

-I wanna get next to you

# Baby, yeah... #

Well, there it is, Rose Royce, for you,

and that was performed by Pauline, of course.

Right now, it's welcome to Great Britain from the United States of America,

the fabulous Detroit Spinners, and Could It Be I'm Falling In Love.

MUSIC: "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" by Detroit Spinners

# Since I met you I've begun to feel so strange

# Every time I speak your name That's funny

# You say that you are so helpless too

# That you don't know what to do

# Each night I pray there will never come a day

# When you up and take your love away

# Say you feel the same way too

# And I wonder what it is I feel for you

-# Could it be I'm falling in love

-With you, baby

-# Could it be I'm falling in love

-Ooh!

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# With you, with you, with you

# And darling, you'll always be the only one for me

# Heaven made you specially

-# Could it be I'm falling in love

-With you, baby

-# Could it be I'm falling in love

-I wanna know now, baby

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# With you, with you, with you

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# Could it be I'm falling in love

# Could it be I'm falling in love... #

Right now, he ain't gonna bump no more, Mr Joe Tex. Yeah!

MUSIC: "Ain't Gonna Bump No More" by Joe Tex

# Three nights ago, I was at a disco

# Man, I wanted to bump I was rarin' to go

# And this big fat woman bumped me on the floor

# She was rarin' to go That chick was rarin' to go

# Man, she did a dip Almost broke my hip

# She was gettin' down That chick was gettin' down

# She wanted to bump some more But I told her, no

# You done knocked me down once You done knocked me down once

# Said, if you wanna dance Find you a big fat man

# Ya'll go on and get on down Ya'll go on and get on down, huh

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# Lord, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# Lord, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# Somebody take her She's too big for me

# She'll knock me down

# She came over to me Snatched me out of my seat

# She wanted to get on down Still want to get on down

# I told her Go on and leave me alone

# I ain't gettin' down You done hurt my hip once

# I know what you'll do I ain't gonna bump with you

# I don't feel like getting down Don't feel like getting down

# She just shook her head at every word I said

# She wanted to get on down That woman want to get on down

# She did that dip again And I hit the floor again

# She was getting down Good God, that woman was getting down

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman... #

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, he ain't gonna bump no more.

And no wonder, looking at the sight of that woman.

We have now another lovely woman for you, Kiki Dee and her latest one, called Night Hours.

# When a dear old friend came by today

# We sure had a lot to say

# Of the time we had so long ago

# When answers to a dream were all we needed

# To glide along our time

# And we remember

# When you and I were fine

# In the night hours

# There's a look of sadness in your eyes

# As you look at me in recollection

# I don't know what you're thinking of

# Then you smile

# Say, "You're looking good, sweet love"

# And we laugh along the hours

# We remember

# When you and I were standing

# We were standing

# In the fading shadows

# Play that song

# The one that made me cry

# Sing along your harmonies

# Before you say goodbye

# There's a look of sadness in my eyes

# As I see you now in my reflection

# And the time so long ago is clearer now

# So we take it kinda slow

# And we laugh along the hours

# But something still remains

# When you've shared your pain with someone

# So long ago

# So long ago

# In the night hours

# In the night hours... #

-Calling out his mama's name

-# Can't hold out

-You got me on a ball and chain

APPLAUSE

Billy Ocean and the number two sound.

A superb piece of music entitled Red Light.

There's all sorts going on, they're all after my cheese butty, folks.

Now we've got Barbra Streisand for you,

and the theme from that fabulous film

featuring her and Kris Kristofferson called A Star Is Born.

This is Evergreen.

# Love, soft as an easy chair

# Love, fresh as the morning air

# One love that is shared by two

# I have found with you

# Like a rose under the April snow

# I was certain that our love would grow

# Love, ageless and evergreen

# Seldom seen by two

# You and I will make each night a first

# Every day a beginning

# Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed

# They warm and excite us

# Cos we have the brightest love

# Two lights that shine as one

# Morning glory and midnight sun

# Time, we've learned to sail above

# Time won't change the meaning of

# One love

# Ageless and ever...

# Ever...

# Green. #

We hope you're enjoying the music, because we've still got

a couple more really good sounds for you on the show tonight.

One of them is the new one from Barry Biggs. It's called You're My Life.

MUSIC: "You're My Life" by Barry Biggs

# You're my laughter when I'm happy

# Understanding when I'm sad

# You're my company when I'm lonely

# And patience when I get mad

# You are gentleness and happiness

# My heart and I agree

# You are all these things and more, my love

# You're everything to me

# You're my light, you're my life

# You're my nights, you're my days

# You're my hope, you're my future

# You're everything to me

# When I'm alone and feeling lost

# You always comfort me

# You brighten up my darkest hour

# You're everything to me

# You're my light, you're my life

# You're my nights, you're my days

# You're my hope, you're my future

# You're everything to me... #

Well, there it is, then, Barry Biggs for you, and You're My Life. What can I say?

Except it is time for the big number one.

They've been there for 34 years, and they're going to stay there for another 34 years.
