Gerry Rafferty - Half a Chance lyrics



Goin' down a dusty road, I turned my head ‘round

Looking for somewhere to go, a place to lay my head down

Check into a small hotel and there before my eyes

Stood a man with a trumpet in his hand

Trying to make the people understand, he stops and sighs and says

"Half a chance

Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night

Lend an ear, please

And the band will play the things you'll want to hear

There's no doubt

That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout ‘Hip hooray!'

In the meantime

There is only one more thing I'd like to say"

Spoke about the well-known faces appearing in the show

Star attraction of the evening would be Billy with his big banjo

But first of all, a sweet little lady who'd have us all screamin' for more

Lily, the striptease queen with the biggest pair you've ever seen.

Down and down

Went her long black stockings and, as they hit the ground, the boys went mad

Everyone agreed

That it was the greatest time they'd ever had

On and on

Now the night was nearly over except for Billy and his big banjo

Billy sang a song called ‘The Truckdriver Man'

And we joined in for a chorus or two and then I went to bed.

"Half a chance

Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night

Lend an ear, please

And the band will play the things you'll want to hear

There's no doubt

That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout ‘Hip hooray!'

In the meantime

There is only one more thing I'd like to say"
