Shine Lyrics

    MRS. WILKINSON
    Try to keep your arm in line
    Come on at least pretend you're doing fine
    You can wow 'em every time
    All you have to do in shine
    Forget about content
    Focus on style
    Steal an inch on them
    And they'll give you a mile
    And smile, smile, smile, smile

    It doesn't matter if you're large or small
    Trapezeoid, or short or tall
    Even if you can't dance stall
    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 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 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 have to do is shine

    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.

    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 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 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
    Give 'em the old rinkle tinkle
    Give 'em the old kabam
    Knock 'em sideways blow their minds out
    There's no time for half time frolics
    Grab the buggers by the bollocks
    Show 'em what class is all about
    Give 'em that old razzle dazzle
    And shine

    Lights!

    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.
