C5                 G5
Here's one of the two of us
A5     F5
In 1954 don't laugh
    C5
I keep all of the pictures
        G5
Are you going to take a photograph
C5                E5    E5
Here's something nice for you
A5                        F5
A dear old thing came to a show
C5
Last time here we did
           G5
An interview on local radio

D5                       D5
Make yourself at home my darling
F5       G5
Come on in
D5                  A5  
Hand me down that jar love
      F5          Bb5  Bb5  A5  G5
Can I offer you a gin

C5                     G5
We're proud to be the oldest
     A5        F5
Ugly sisters in variety
       C5
There's not the glamor now you see
     G5
What happened to society
C5                E5    E5
There's another light bulb gone
A5                    F5
They don't all answer to the switch
   C5
I don't know how we carry on
    G5
And her she couldn't care the bitch

D5                    D5
But in a while the old boys
       F5             G5
In the band begin to play
    D5              A5
And in a while the houselights
        F5              Bb5  Bb5  A5   G5
And the curtains slide away

    C5
And something's going to happen
             C5
To make your whole life better
     C5                  F5
Your whole life better one day
C5
Something's going to happen
              E5  E5   A5
To make your whole life better
      C5         G5                
Your whole life better one day

        C5              G5
Now the landlady's all squared away
      A5             F5
It's just a temporary deal
    C5
I'm afraid tonight it's take-away
    G5
You see there is no evening meal
C5                   E5  E5        A5
Don't worry dear you shall go to the ball
            F5
I think the fairy said
      C5
These suitcases have seen it all
     G5
From under someone else's bed

     D5                      D5
You want to smile those tears away
    F5          G5
Now don't you cry
    D5                A5
You want to know what I say
 F5              Bb5  Bb5  A5  G5
I say never say die

     C5
'Cos something's going to happen
             C5
To make your whole life better
     C5                  F5
Your whole life better one day
 C5
Something's going to happen
             E5   E5    A5
To make your whole life better
     C5          G5
Your whole life better one day
