Get Up Get Down
Chorus:
Get up get up get down – we should be dancing
Get up get up get down – move to the beat
Get up get up get down – we should be dancing
Get up get up get down – get on your feet
I wish somebody would take away this fear
or take me away..
Chorus
This is so scary -a feeling that I dread
A Hammer horror in my head
Chorus
And then suddenly I’m with you on the floor
it doesn’t matter anymore
Midd 8:
Oh I’m spinning you round in the air
I’m Travolta I’m Fred Astaire
Just watch me..
Chorus

Harry Walked
Harry was eighteen, worked the land everyday
but to see the world was what he wanted
-so Harry walked away.
To reveal a destination he threw a coin up in the air
Tails Quebec, heads Australia, - and he’d start a new life there.
Chorus:
Harry talked like young men talk about starting over
Harry walked the long road from Durham fields to Manitoba
He waved goodbye to those around him bought his ticket
-and sailed away
Left behind his northern England for Canada & a brand new day.
Chorus
He walked his way across the country,
work was anything he found
In return for food or money
through Cypress River, Carman Town.
Chorus
Barbara was a farming girl and Harry’s wife to be
They worked the prairies -the plains of Roland
- and began a family.
Chorus

Picture Postcards
Picture postcards every day
Look out your window, the postman‘s on his way
“I’ll see you tonight” young lovers write
On picture Postcards every day
Sid writes to Doris what does he say?
that brings them closer when he’s just a few miles away
It’s 1910, that’s how we did it then
On picture Postcards every day
He sent her pictures of the stars of the day
Pretty poses from Gabrielle Ray
Phyllis and Zena Dare- all the girls are there
On picture Postcards every day
Inky kisses for a dream come true
We’ll be together when I can get to you
Signed “you’ll always be mine”
- addressed to Rose Cottage in Swine
Picture postcards every day
A love that showed, all the way from Holderness Road on
Picture postcards every day.
Picture postcards.

Smile If You Get to Sixty
Some take the short cut home
Others just wander and roam
Don’t you forget , it’s not over yet
and smile if you get to sixty (smile if you get to sixty)
It’s engrained in our psychology
We should do everything perfectly
but we’re not all meant, to reach 100%
Smile if you get to sixty
smile if you get to sixty
Midd 8:
Not all our heroes get one zero zeros
in everything they do
We should be taught that a six and a nought is OK –for me and you.
Some take the short cut home
Others just wander and roam
Don’t you forget , it’s not over yet
and smile if you get to sixty
smile if you get to sixty
