Goin' down a dusty road, I turned my head 'round |
|
Looking for somewhere to go, a place to lay my head down |
|
Check into a small hotel and there before my eyes |
|
Stood a man with a trumpet in his hand |
|
Trying to make the people understand, he stops and sighs and says |
|
'Half a chance |
|
Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night |
|
Lend an ear, please |
|
And the band will play the things you'll want to hear |
|
There's no doubt |
|
That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout 'Hip hooray!' |
|
In the meantime |
|
There is only one more thing I'd like to say' |
|
Spoke about the well-known faces appearing in the show |
|
Star attraction of the evening would be Billy with his big banjo |
|
But first of all, a sweet little lady who'd have us all screamin' for more |
|
Lily, the striptease queen with the biggest pair you've ever seen. |
|
Down and down |
|
Went her long black stockings and, as they hit the ground, the boys went mad |
|
Everyone agreed |
|
That it was the greatest time they'd ever had |
|
On and on |
|
Now the night was nearly over except for Billy and his big banjo |
|
Billy sang a song called 'The Truckdriver Man' |
|
And we joined in for a chorus or two and then I went to bed. |
|
'Half a chance |
|
Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night |
|
Lend an ear, please |
|
And the band will play the things you'll want to hear |
|
There's no doubt |
|
That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout 'Hip hooray!' |
|
In the meantime |
|
There is only one more thing I'd like to say' |
