One More Matinee |
Here’s one of the two of us |
In 1954 don’t laugh |
I keep all of the pictures |
Are you going to take a photograph |
Here’s something nice for you |
A dear old thing came to a show |
Last time here we did |
An interview on local radio |
Make yourself at home my darling |
Come on in |
Hand me down that jar love |
Can I offer you a gin |
We’re proud to be the oldest |
Ugly sisters in variety |
There’s not the glamour now |
You see what happened to society |
There’s another light bulb gone |
They don’t all answer to the switch |
I don’t know how we carry on |
And her she couldn’t care the bitch |
But in a while the old boys |
In the band begin to play |
And in a while the houselights |
And the curtains slide away |
And something’s going to happen |
To make your whole life better |
Your whole life better one day |
Something’s going to happen |
To make your whole life better |
Your whole life better one day |
Now the landlady’s all squared away |
It’s just a temporary deal |
I’m afraid tonight it’s take-away |
You see there is no evening meal |
Don’t worry dear you shall go to the ball |
I think the fairy said |
These suitcases have seen it all |
From under someone else’s bed |
You want to smile those tears away |
Now don’t you cry |
You want to know what I say |
I say never say die |
Cause something’s going to happen |
To make your whole life better |
Your whole life better one day |
Something’s going to happen |
To make your whole life better |
Your whole life better one day |
