Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Morning, girls
Morning, Mrs. Wilkinson
Come on, get a move on
Oi, Rocky
Bugger off!
Music, maestro, please
[Verse 2]
Arms!
She's a right old cow
Hey, that's me mam
Full plié
Your mam?
Yeah
And up
You're crap at that
No, I'm not
And second
Miss!
Here! Stick this over there, will you
Tummies in
I'm telling you, Tracy, you're gonna end up like your mother
And balance and two and three and four
Miss, the keys
Knees
Who the hell are you?
Billy
And second
Billy Elliot
Ooh, pleased to meet you, I'm Margot
Margot flippin' Fontaine
It was a rhetorical question, now piss off over there
Keeley Gibson, how many times have I gotta tell you?
But, Miss
I don't care if your mother has got cerebral palsy, Keeley
You have to bring your shoes, go home and get them
Right, grades one, two and three to the front
Outside, Sharon, our lives are lonely and sad, but in here we sparkle
[Verse 3]
Try to keep your arm in line
Come on, at least pretend you're doing fine
Don't forget the golden rule, girls
Never hide your light under a bushel
No matter how big the bushel, Tracy Harkenson
[Verse 4]
You can wow them every time
Even you, Susan Hawks
All you have to do is shine
Jetés, that's it, girls
So our tawdry little lives are transformed by the power of art
[Verse 5]
Forget about content
Oi, you
Focus on style
Steal an inch on them
And they'll give you a mile
Chair!
[Verse 6]
Everybody ready for the big number
And smile, smile, smile, smile
[Verse 7]
Right, we've only got another seven and a half months to rehearse this
So, for Christ's sakes, concentrate
[Verse 8]
It doesn't matter if you're large or small
Trapezeoid, or short or tall
Even if you can't dance at all
All you really have to do is shine
[Verse 9]
It doesn't matter if your life's a mess
The whole process will coalesce
Girls, just try to effervesce
All you really have to do is shine
[Verse 10]
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Turn on the old pizzazz
Miss, the keys
There won't be time to shilly shally
Give it backbone, give it welly
Bowl 'em over, knock 'em out
Show 'em what life is all about
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
And shine
[Verse 11]
Go on, join in, I dare ya
[Verse 12]
It doesn't matter if you're unemployed
Only partially humanoid
An octopoid whose mind's a void
All you really have to do is shine
Come on, Debby, it's your big moment
Ah, no
[Verse 13]
It doesn't matter if you're special needs
Maimed or lame, or born in Leeds
They love to see a heart that bleeds
All you really have to do is shine
[Verse 14]
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Turn on the old pizzazz
There won't be time to shilly shally
Give it backbone, give it welly
Bowl 'em over, knock 'em out
Show 'em what life is all about
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
And shine
[Verse 15]
You might be feeling lousy
You might be feeling blue
A little apprehensive
A minor touch of flu
They couldn't give a monkey's cuss
They couldn't give a fig
Come on, son, get over it
It's all part of the gig
[Verse 16]
Smoke, Mr. Braithwaite!
Come on, girls
Get behind those fans
I wanna see tiny little people
I wanna see midgets
Go on!
[Verse 17]
Give it the old rinkle tinkle
Out, in!
Give it the old kerbamm!
Lame!
Knock 'em sideways, blow their minds out
There's no time for half-arsed frolics
Grab the buggers by the bollocks
Show 'em what class is all about
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
And shine
[Verse 18]
Lights!
[Verse 19]
It doesn't matter if you're short or squat
Cerebrally challenged, completely shot
You might have it or might not
All you really have to do is
All you really have to do is
Shine
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle and shine
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle and shine
And shine
And shine
