Once is never enough
Never is never was
Here and now is all that counts
Here and now in large 1
Be beautiful but shut up
The going can be real tough

You can 2 your fancy bars
Clubby friends and fast cars
And 3 the going gets hard
You can eat your credit cards
I really tried to 4 it
But what the hell I like it

There is always room at the top
Don't let 5 tell you there is not
Made in England born and bred
An eighteenth century brain
In a twenty-first 6 head

Room at the top - so eighteenth century
Room at the top - so 7 century
Room at the top
There's always room

If some of this fits you
Or like the things 8 you might do
It's the pleasure and the pain
That makes us do it all again
They say
Be 9 and shut up
The going can be real tough
