As long as you got the white stuff
As long as you got the right stuff
Every time we hear the girls, we call.
Everytime we hear the curtain call
Everytime we hear the gerkin call
Everytime we hear the curtain call
Going mad, shooting sparks into Spain.
Going mad, shooting sparks into space.
Going mad, shooting stars into space.
Going mad, shooting sparks into space.
I don't want a Reichstag.
I don't wanna act like.
Lucy is on tonight
You'll see the light tonight
My 16th birthday
I was so shy
Could not get a man
But ready to try.
My 16th birthday
I was so shy
Not yet a man
But ready to try.
Party party! I wanna dance with you! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
Party party! I wanna dance! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
or
Paul McCartney! I wanna dance with you! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
Paul McCartney! I wanna dance! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
Oh come on! I wanna dance with you! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
Oh come on! I wanna dance! (This is the night, you'll see the light)
See the girls with the curls in their hair
The buttons, and the pins, and laughing fair
See the girls with the curls in their hair
The buttons,and the pins and the loud fanfare
See the girls with the girls in the band
See the girls with the curls in their hair
See the girls with the girls in the hair
See the girls with their curls in their hair
Seize the girls with the girls in their hair
See the girls with the curls in their hair
Senior girls with the curls in their hair
See the girls with the curls in their hair
The bottom of the pins and the loud crashes
The buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares
The chefs are gonna have their day
The Jets are gonna have their day
Today the world was just a mattress
A place for me to live in
No better than a light.
Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right.
Tonight, we'll let our hearts decide
A***holes will follow.
Tonight, we'll let our hearts decide
Our souls will follow.
