Lyrics

[Spoken] Uh, the next song The next song we are going to see Is a, is a really old b-side And, uh, we sort of forgot about it 'Cause it didn't really make sense When we recorded it But now that we've all got children And they're growin' up, some of them are nearly teenagers It sort of makes a lot of sense And I r— I remember being on, uh, Oxford Street Walking past Selfridges, I think it was And that gave me the idea for the wholе thing But we're— we as a band Would likе to dedicate this to our beautiful children [Verse 1] Friday's child is planning to go out for the first time "Don't worry, Mum, I won't be out that late" I can't be playing those passive games right now They're out of date, you're awfully sweet I haven't got the time, growing up so fast, got better things to do [Chorus] You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la [Verse 2] Kicking around in the centre of the town, looking in shop windows Those mannequins look awfully real tonight Friday's child doesn't know if it's awake or if it's dreaming "Don't worry, Dad, I'll do my bit, I'll raise the flag, I'll be just like you" [Chorus] You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la [Interlude] "Don't worry, Mum, I'm not that dumb, I'll be just like you" [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la [Bridge] And we all know why Why'd you do it Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la And we all know why Why'd you do it Ah-ah-ah-ah, la-la-la [Chorus] 'Cause you can get what you want You're so young and lovely Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la You can get what you want You're so young and lovely Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la [Spoken] Thank you
