      Shine
Shine
I
 

It doesn't matter if you're large or small
Trapezeoid, short or tall
Even if you can't dance at all
All you really have to do is shine

It doesn't matter if your life's a mess
The whole process will coalesce
Girls, just try to effervesce
All you really have to do is shine.

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Turn on the old pizzazz
There's no time for shilly shally
Give it backbone, give it welly
Bowl 'em over, knock 'em out
Show 'em what life is all about
Give them the old razzle dazzle
And shine

It doesn't matter if you're unemployed
Only partially humanoid
An octopoid whose mind's a void
All you really gotta do is shine

It doesn't matter if you're born in Leeds
They love to see a heart that bleeds
You'll all be stars one day, you'll see
All you really gotta do is shine.

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Turn on the old pizzazz
There's no time for shilly shally
Give it backbone, give it welly
Bowl them over, knock 'em out
Show them what life's all about
Give them the old razzle dazzle
And shine!

You might be feeling lousy
You might be feeling blue
A little disenchanted
A minor touch of flu
They couldn't give a monkey's cuss
They couldn't give a fig
Come on girls get over it
It's all part of the gig

Give 'em the old rinkle tinkle
Give 'em the old kabam
Grab the buggers by the bollocks
Knock 'em sideways blow their minds out
Keep it comin', keep it comin'
There's no time for half time frolics
Give 'em that old razzle dazzle
And shine

Doesn't matter if you're short or squat
Cerebrally challenged, completely shot
You might have it or might not
All you really have to do is
All you really have to do is shine
Give 'em that old razzle dazzle and shine
Give 'em that old razzle dazzle and shine
And shine
And shine.
