Another opening, another show, a job that you hope will last, will make your future forget your past. Another day where the pulse is strong, another opening, another show.
Four weeks you rehearse and rehearse, three weeks and you couldn't be worse. One week will never be right, then all of a sudden that thing burns like fire.
The overture is about to start, you cross your fingers and hold your heart. It's curtain time and away we go, another opening, another show.

Everybody's wearing blue jeans. Everybody's got their own shoes. Everybody's lost in daydreams. But everybody's wearing blue jeans.
Everybody's wearing blue jeans. Everybody's got their own shoes. Everybody's in their own jeans. But everybody's wearing blue jeans.
We're all in the same boat. We're out in the same boats. Everybody's got their own shoes. We're all in the same boat.
Everybody's wearing blue jeans. Everybody's got their own shoes. Everybody's lost in daydreams. But everybody's wearing blue jeans.
I'm singing in my head. I'm trying to be the right man. I'm living my mind in peace. I'm living my blue jeans.

When money is getting right out of hand and things are going wrong. When all around are getting you down, just sing this good song.
If you ever need a jam, here I am. If you ever need a S.O.S. If you ever feel so happy you love your jam, I am there.
Friendship, friendship, just a happy friendship. When all the friends here today are gone, I'll still be home. La la la dee dee dee.
If you ever are on a treat, phone to me. If you ever have done a well, ring my bell. If you ever lose your teeth and you're about to die, you're all mine.
It's friendship, friendship, just a happy friendship. When all the friends here today are gone, I'll still be great. La la la chup chup chup.
If you ever need a jam, here I am. If you ever need a S.O.S. If you ever feel so happy you love your jam, I am there.

If you ever got a rise, put me to rise. If you ever could be loose, tell me loose. If you ever were on a train or a parade, I'll be waiting.
It's friendship, friendship, just a happy friendship. When all the friends here today are gone, I'll still be here.

I lost a good job in the city, working for a man every night and day. I never wanted to feel outstated, I don't remember the way that you might have been.
Today we'll keep on turning, and we'll keep on turning. My life's on the line, on the line, on the river.
So we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
On a train to our place in Memphis, I'm about to entertain everyone who won't leave. But I never saw the good side of a city until I used to ride on the Westmoor Queen.
Today we'll keep on turning, and we'll keep on turning. My life's on the line, on the line, on the river.
If you come down the river, I bet you're gonna find some people there. And you don't have to worry if you got the money, they'll put on the real bar.
Today we'll keep on turning, and we'll keep on turning. My life's on the line, on the line, on the river.
Rolling, rolling on the river.
On a train to our place in Memphis, I'm about to entertain everyone who won't leave. But I never saw the good side of a city until I used to ride on the Westmoor Queen.

Tonight, we connect the finger
We know how to show it
I'll be in there, oh baby don't you know
The heat of album, don't need no cup for us to make it
Jumping up, take us pick up on it
I got fire in my mind, I get fire when I'm walking
I'm going in dark, I keep you on it
That sweet-sitted woman, she was gonna lie
She's holding my mind and my soul
I'm just a lean girl, I feel it is right
I got that night, night, night, night
We know how to do it
We're like a band, oh baby don't you know
That night, night, night, night
We know how to show it
I'll be in there, oh baby don't you know
We're always hearing, playing for this moment to last
Living on the music so fine, for all the real
Making it mine
Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
We're like a band, oh baby don't you know
That night, night, night, night

Because the Switzerland island is the name of the world, it tells a lie what I say.
Because the Switzerland island is the name of the world, it tells a lie what I say.
Right, it was very, very windy yesterday, wasn't it?
And all the leaves were falling off the trees, and one little leaf as it came down, it went,
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, and it landed on the floor,
and all the other leaves came down and they said to it,
What did you keep saying, excuse me, excuse me for?
And it said, well, it said, I've just blown off.
The Irishman went to the doctor and he said, Could you give me something for the wind?
So the doctor gave him a kite.
There was an Irish couple rented a little railway cottage, a railway, it was right by the railway,
a little cottage, and the only problem was each time a train went by the house,
it shook something awful.
So anyway, they were there for a couple of weeks, and the landlord came for the rent.
He said, Well, Mrs. Murphy, how do you like the house?
She said, Well, it's fine, but every time a train goes past, it nearly knocks me out the bed.
And the landlord said, Oh, come on, you've got to be exaggerating.
He said, I know it's bad. He said, It's not that bad.
She said, I'll tell you the truth. She said, there's a train due any minute.
She said, I'll hop up on the bed. She said, And you can see for yourself.
So Mrs. Murphy hopped up on the bed, and she said, As a matter of fact,
she said, You can come up and get next to me.
She said, And you'll see for yourself that I'm not exaggerating.
So the landlord got up and sat in the bed with Mrs. Murphy and didn't Mr. Murphy come home.
He opened the door, he said, What the bloody hell's going on here?
The landlord said, Tappie, he said, You're not going to believe this.
He said, But we're waiting for a train.
Paddy came home from the doctor, he said to his wife,
she said, What's the miserable look about?
The doctor said, I've got to take a pill every day for the rest of my life.
She said, So what?
She said, Lots of people have to take pills every day for the rest of their life.
He said, I know. But he only gave me four.
Two men at the CES, or St. Helene, whatever you like to call it,
lining up, waiting for a job, and one said to the other,
Any luck, Bill?
He said, No.
He said, I nearly got lucky last week though.
There was a job advertised for a footman at Government House.
He said, I got an interview with none other than the Governor's wife.
And she said, Well, my man, for this job you have to have a lovely figure
and nicely shaped legs for all the livery that you have had to wear.
He said, Would you mind rolling your trousers and showing me the shape of your leg?
He said, So I've rolled my trousers out.
She said, They're wonderful.
She said, I think you'd be ideal for the job.
Now then, sir, she said, Can I see your testimonials?
He said, I'd have got that job if I'd have been educated.
Wait a minute, there's a few more.
Excuse me not laughing, I've heard them all before.
There was a grand final at the MCG.
There was a chap, two blokes, sitting there, and there was an empty seat between them.
One said to the other, Isn't that a shame?
He said, People down there are giving their IT for that seat.
So the other bloke said, Yes, I know.
He said, I bought it.
He said, Actually, he said, It's mine.
I bought it for the wife, but she died.
He said, Oh, I'm sorry.
He said, Couldn't you have given the ticket to one of your friends?
He said, No, they've all gone to her funeral.
There was a new matron at the nursing home, and she looked around and she thought,
You're miserable looking like that.
I'll do something to cheer you up.
So she went out into her room and she stripped all her clothes off and put on a brunch coat.
She went out into the room and she opened up her brunch coat and she went up to one old boy,
Super six, and he nearly had a stroke.
Then she went up to another one and she went, Super six.
He said, I'll have the soup.
The bloke at the maternity hospital was waiting for his wife to have a baby.
The nurse came out.
She said, Congratulations, Mr. Smith.
She said, You've got a beautiful baby boy, eight pounds, ten ounces.
He said, Oh, good.
She said, But he's black.
He said, That'll be right.
He said, She burns everything.
Irishman on the London Underground, very, very late at night, he gets off the train and he goes towards the escalator.
And there's a big notice there.
Dogs must be carried on the escalator.
You see where the bloody hell am I getting a dog from this time of night?
Hang on, I'll have to get some more out.
You all right?
Okay, that's a lot.
I'm playing on the same side so I don't get hurt.
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me.
Because of you I am fine.
I looked my way and it's not too long before you pointed out I cannot cry.
Because I know there's weakness in your eyes, I'm forced to fake a smile of life every day of my life.
My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even hard to start with.
Because of you I never strayed too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you I'm playing on the same side so I don't get hurt.
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me.
Because of you I am afraid.
I watched you die, I heard you cry every night of your sleep.
I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me.
You never thought of anyone else but you took so long to hold me.
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing.
Because of you I never strayed too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you I like to play on the same side so I don't get hurt.
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything.
Because of you I don't have a better day than you all have seen.
Because of you I want to shake up my life because it's empty.
Because of you I am afraid because of you.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas at every new year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas at every new year.
Merry Christmas!
We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas at every new year.
Merry Christmas!
One of you know jokes?
Paddy went to the doctor and he said, what's good for insomnia?
The doctor said a good night's sleep.
Anyway he said I'm on the second opinion, he said you're ugly as well.
Anyway he had his annual check up and the doctor said to him, I can't find anything wrong with you.
He said I've got to put all the down to the drink.
And Mr Murphy said thank you very much doctor I'll come back when you're sober.
It was a very wealthy farmer and he had this dog and he thought the world of this dog.
But one day the dog died, he was Catholic by the way.
He took the doctor to the priest and he said to the priest, would you say a little mass for me dog, father?
The father said no, he said we don't do mass for animals, he said I'm very sorry.
He could see how Mr Murphy was so upset, he said I'll tell you what, he said there's a new denomination opened up a few miles down the road, God knows what they preach there.
He said maybe if you take your dog there, he said they'll have a little service for him.
He said thank you very much father, he said I'll go down this very minute.
By the way he said you think $600 will be enough to give him?
And the priest said why don't you tell me the dog was a Catholic.
A little Catholic boy said to his Jewish friend, our priest knows a lot more than your Rabbi.
And the little Jewish boy said, well of course he does, he said you tell him everything.
Irish couple come back from Spain on holiday and they were tanned, they had a beautiful sun tan.
The following day the husband died.
So Mrs Murphy said to her next door neighbour, would you like to come in and see him?
She said he looked so nice.
She said yes, so she went in to see him in his coffin.
She said he's got a wonderful tan.
His wife said yes, the holiday didn't look all that good.
So she said he's got a smile on his face as well.
She said well of course he has, he doesn't know he's dead yet.
When he wakes up and finds himself dead she said the shark will kill him.
So I think that's all there, thank you very much.
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked at many ways.
The little Lord Jesus first came from the head.
And through the door she looked maybe away.
The little Lord Jesus looked right in his face.
But only the Jesus looked at the stars in the sky.
And the same night the sky looked till morning is nigh.
The clouds broke down on the feast of speedy flow.
And the star lay down the ground, sin and gris, many people.
For beyond the moon and night, overcast the sea row.
And the moon, and hang and swine, when readable you went across.
They look for blood and garland and gold crowned in gold and gold into bed then.
God and we all do Him,
Warner King of angels,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Holy night, holy night,
Holy sun, holy twilight,
Where on your late mother's lap
Holy is the Spirit and the God,
Sleep ever, sleep,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
In one whole short way sway,
All that you see goes,
Laughing all the way,
Up up up,
You'll know what you'll see,
Stay to the time,
For it is true.
I will sing, I will sing,
One, two, one, two,
I will sing, oh well,
Sing, oh well,
Sing all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh,
Sing all the way,
Sing all the way,
Sing all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh.

I want to tell you a story about Alice.
Now Alice has been telling me for the last two years that she's too old to entertain.
So we went to England together and every time we visited her family or friends,
we'd be in the middle of the talking and she'd get up and entertain.
I said I really don't believe that.
And then I watched while Alice was away dancing with the stars and I taped,
I was lucky enough to have the taping and I taped the one where Tom McKenney had those 80 plus people dancing for him.
So I said to Alice she's never too old to stop entertaining and I think you agree with me don't you?
Applause

Thank you.
