Shine

Shine

I

It doesn't matter if you're large or small Trapezeoid, short or tall Even if you can't dance at all All you really have to do is shine 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. Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Turn on the old pizzazz There's no time for shilly shally Give it backbone, give it welly Bowl 'em over, knock 'em out Show 'em what life is all about Give them the old razzle dazzle And shine It doesn't matter if you're unemployed Only partially humanoid An octopoid whose mind's a void All you really gotta do is shine It doesn't matter if you're born in Leeds They love to see a heart that bleeds You'll all be stars one day, you'll see All you really gotta do is shine. Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Turn on the old pizzazz There's no time for shilly shally Give it backbone, give it welly Bowl them over, knock 'em out Show them what life's all about Give them the old razzle dazzle And shine! You might be feeling lousy You might be feeling blue A little disenchanted A minor touch of flu They couldn't give a monkey's cuss They couldn't give a fig Come on girls get over it It's all part of the gig Give 'em the old rinkle tinkle Give 'em the old kabam Grab the buggers by the bollocks Knock 'em sideways blow their minds out Keep it comin', keep it comin' There's no time for half time frolics Give 'em that old razzle dazzle And shine 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 that old razzle dazzle and shine Give 'em that old razzle dazzle and shine And shine And shine.
