"Are you all settled in? Right, then we can begin. My name is..."
|
"ALFIE!"
|
|
Once there was a time
|
When my mind lay on higher things
|
And once there was a time
|
I could find pretty words to sing
|
But now, well now I find
|
It saves time to say what you mean
|
I know it seems so unrefined
|
but it's time to let off some steam
|
|
Oh come on!
|
Everybody knows that No means Yes
|
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
|
But the more I look through them the more I see
|
I'm becoming more like Alfie
|
|
Once there was a time
|
When a kind word could be enough
|
And once there was a time
|
I could blindfold myself with love
|
But not now?now I'm resigned
|
To the kind of life I had reserved
|
For other guys less smart than I
|
Y'know?the kind who will always end up with the girls
|
|
And besides
|
Everybody knows that No means Yes
|
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
|
But the more I look through them the more I see
|
I'm becoming more like Alfie
|
|
Oh come on!
