APPLAUSE

Oh. Ahem.

Sorry, you caught me at it twice. Shouldn't have done it.

The reason for it is, I've been working so hard on the show today,

they haven't given me a lunch break.

So I take advantage while the music's on, very crafty.

You must take advantage at home too, because now on Top Of The Pops

we have a gentleman who is bound to be number one in a few weeks,

with his new song "Uptown Up-Tempo Woman" -

Randy Edelman.

# It started out in innocence

# The way that most things do

# A thousand people crammed in one place

# But the only face was you

# I grabbed your hand and we raced out

# Hardly said a word

# I'd only seen you for a minute

# But I was round in third

# And we traded on our backgrounds

# You mentioned I seemed shy

# Then you laughed

# And said "I'm an uptown, up-tempo woman,

# "You're a downtown, downbeat guy."

# Within a week I'd moved in

# At her uptown East Side place

# We'd make love for hours

# On a bed of silk and lace

# She would get up early

# And come home late at night

# She had important business

# But my prospects all seemed slight

# And tired on some evenings,

# She'd get mad and cry

# "I'm an uptown, up-tempo woman, you're a downtown, downbeat guy."

# The romance soon was over

# And the lust was turning thin

# I soon began to realise

# The mess I'd gotten in

# But as always happens when you're caught in such a trap

# You get so used to what's around

# That you can't find your way back

# So I lived with this arrangement

# But I soon learned to despise

# The uptown, up-tempo woman

# And the downtown, downbeat guy.

# And then one Saturday in March

# I decided I would go

# Cos I was getting nowhere

# And my mind was getting slow

# So I opened all the closets

# There wasn't much to pack

# I felt bad not telling her

# But I wasn't coming back

# But this day she was early

# She looked at me and asked why

# I said "Why?"

# "You're an uptown, up-tempo woman,

"and I'm a downtown downbeat guy."

# You're an uptown, up-tempo woman

# And I'm a downtown, downbeat guy.

# Downtown, downbeat guy. #

APPLAUSE

Randy Edelman.

Please, whatever you think at home,

I know you know I'm hungry and think I've brought this to eat,

but I brought it to mention that when I was a kid,

I enjoyed dipping a banana in a certain substance.

Now that substance is all over the stage behind me.

It's Sherbet, number 22 and "Howzat!"

APPLAUSE

# Ooooh...

# You told me I was the one

# The only one who got your head undone

# And for a while I believed the line that you spun

# But I've been looking at you

# Looking closely at the things you do

# I didn't see you the way you wanted me to

-# How -

-How -

-Howzat

# You messed about, I caught you out

# Howzat

# Now that I've found where you're at

# It's good bye, well howzat

# It's goodby-y-y-ye

# You only came for a smile

# Even though you're really not my style

# I didn't think that you'd run me round like you do

-# How -

-How -

-Howzat

# You messed about, I caught you out

# Howzat

# Now that I've found where you're at

# It's goodbye, well howzat

# It's goodby-y-y-ye

# Ooh yea

# Oo-oh yeah-hey!

# Ahhh

-# I've been looking at you

-(I'll tell you what I see)

-# Looking closely at the things you do

-(No, you can't fool me)

# I didn't see you the way you wanted me to

-# How -

-How -

-Howzat

# You messed about, I caught you out

# Howzat

# Now that I've found where you're at

# It's goodbyyye

# Howzat

# You messed about, I caught you out

# Howzat

# Now that I've found where you're at

# It's goodby-ye, well howzat

# Goooodbye-ye

# Ooh yeah

# Oo-hoo-ee

# Oooh. #

APPLAUSE

That was "Howzat" for you, currently number 22 in the charts this week.

I'm enjoying myself. I hope you are at home.

There you go, Ruby Flipper, "The Best Disco In Town."

I don't care who sees now, I'm not trying to hide it.

Nothing like a box of chocolates.

We've a lovely package for you on the other stage.

Number six in the charts this week,

"Dance, Little Lady, Dance" from Tina Charles!

# Yeah, yeah!

# Someone taught me how to dance last night

# What a mover he was

# And someone taught me how to do it right

# What a groover he was

# He taught me all the steps he knew to rock 'n roll

# I found my sense of rhythm but I lost my self-control when he said

# Dance, little lady, dance

# Dance, little lady, dance

# You know you've got only one chance

# So come on, dance, dance, dance! Oh!

# Someone taught me how to move last night

# What a looker he was

# And someone taught me how to do it right

# What a cooker he was

# Now we boogie and we bump until were fit to drop

# And when he gets me going, I dont want to stop

# When he says Dance, little lady, dance

# Dance, little lady, dance

# You know you've only got one chance

# So come on, dance, dance, dance, oh!

# Yeah, yeah!

# We boogie and we bump until were fit to drop

# And when he gets me going,

# I don't want to stop, when he says,

# Dance, little lady, dance

# Dance, little lady, dance

# You know you've only got one chance

# So come on, dance, dance, dance, dance!

-# Dance

-That's what he told me

-# Dance

-Ooh, what a mover

-# Dance

-That's what he told me

-# Dance

-Oh, what a groover!

-# Dance

-Dance, little lady

APPLAUSE

I see, now they're trying to kill me with the camera.

We have a number 23 sound for you now here on Top Of The Pops.

It's Jesse Green's "Nice and Slow",

which is just as well, really. Give me time to finish my chicken leg.

Chicken and chocolate, urgh!

APPLAUSE

Ah, look at this. You see? The BBC, nice bunch of people to work for.

They've seen the error of their ways and given me a big layout.

Actually, they're trying to impress our next guest,

cos he's used to all this highflown living.

"When Forever Is Gone" is his latest sound.

Ladies and gentlemen, Demis Roussos.

APPLAUSE

# When you are close to me

# My heart is aflame

# Just the brush of your lips

# And I call out your name

# Then I rest in your arms

# And I know that you are true

# But you still understand

# That's the mystery of you

# We will be forever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When forever has gone

# When I'm weak you are strong

# When I fall you go on

# You'll still be with me

# When my other friends have gone

# Yet you cry like a child

# And that breaks me in two

# You are all things to me

# That's the mystery of you

# We will be forever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When forever has gone

# We will be forever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When forever has go-o-o-one. #

APPLAUSE

Mm-mmm.

Ladies and gentlemen, Demis Roussos, the fantastic...oh, this is great.

BBC's never gone this mad.

Demis! Come over here, darling.

It's time to say good night.

We'll leave you with the number one sound

which has been there for 94 years.

Demis, cop a load of our lovely British plonk, chateaux BBC 1914.

Until we meet again on Top Of The Pops, ladies and gentlemen,

take care, bon soir... How do you say goodbye in your language?

-Kalinihta.

-Kalinihta...oh, whatever he said, I'll go for that as well.

The number one sound, Abba,

fantastic, we'll see you all next week. Take care. Bye-bye.

APPLAUSE

# Oo-ooh

# You can dance, you can jive

# Having the time of your life

# Ooh, see that girl,

# Watch that scene

# Diggin' the Dancing Queen

# Friday night and the lights are low

# Looking out for a place to go

# Where they play the right music, getting in the swing

# You come to look for a king

# Anybody could be that guy

# Night is young and the music's high

# With a bit of rock music, everything is fine

# You're in the mood for a dance

# And when you get the chance

# You are the Dancing Queen,

# Young and sweet, only seventeen

# Dancing Queen

# Feel the beat from the tambourine

# Oh yeah

# You can dance, you can jive

# Having the time of your life

# Ooh, see that girl

# Watch that scene

# Diggin' the Dancing Queen

# You're a teaser, you turn 'em on

# Leave 'em burning

# And then you're gone

# Looking out for another

# Anyone will do

# You're in the mood for a dance

# And when you get the chance

# You are the Dancing Queen,

# Young and sweet, only seventeen

# Dancing Queen,

# Feel the beat from the tambourine

# Oh yeah!

# You can dance, you can jive

# Having the time of your life

# Ooh, see that girl

# Watch that scene

# Diggin' the Dancing Queen

# Diggin' the Dancing Queen
