If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
And not change a single thing
Even when I was to blame
For the heartache and the pain
That I caused throughout my years
How I learned to be a man
Through the laughter and the tears
Situation no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat
All the chances that I've blown
And the times that I've been down
I didn't get too high
Kept my feet on the ground
(Chorus)
(Peter Sellers speaking)
Yes, yes, delightful, delightful
Rush for a change of atmosphere
(Peter Sellers again)
Mmm, I wish I could sing like that
'Cause not everything's singing, you know
The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody Rhythm and melody
(A time to laugh, a time to cry) (x8)
And of all my friends
You've been the best to me
Soon will be the day
When I repay you handsomely
Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know, I've had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I'm not there
(Chorus x2)
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right outta here
(x2)
