Ooh shalalalalalala Ooh shalalalalalala Tedium is overcome From obscurity Through melody And when I'm blind It helps me see through your key No one can touch No need to rush Presented by My alibi And when I'm down It brings me round so easy At eight 'o clock I'll take my leave And when I'm done and dusted tonight I'm gonna be I'll be your karaoke queen It's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three-minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be And you can dance Ooh shalalalalalala Ooh shalalalalalala Common sense has excuses Recklessness its uses But don't go fusing silence With charisma At nine 'o clock you can count on me But when I'm up, I'm ready tonight I'm gonna be I'll be your karaoke queen It's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be
It's just a three-minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be Where you can dance Ooh shalalalalalala Ooh shalalalalalala Ooh shalalalalalala Ooh shalalalalalala I'm doomed to fail The stage gives way It's an apostrophe To my legacy But though I'm bruised I'll happily do it all again At ten 'o clock don't wait up for me Cause when I'm up, I'm ready tonight I'm gonna be Matthew! I'll be your karaoke queen It's not me you see I'm gonna take you down to a place I know you'd rather be It's just a three-minute song It doesn't last very long But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be And you can dance if you wanna show appreciation But step up to the mike for the full sensation And you can dance And you can dance And you can Ooh lalala, ooh shalalalalalala Yeah you can Ooh lalala, ooh shalalalalalala
