Rafferty Gerry - Half A Chance lyrics

Going 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 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 and His Big

Banjo

But First of All, a Sweet Little Lady ?whose ...? Was All

Screaming 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
