Half A Chance Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

Goin' down a dusty road, I turned my head ‘round 

Looking for somewhere to go, a place to lay my head down 

Check into a small hotel and there before my eyes 

Stood a man with a trumpet in his hand 

Trying to make the people understand, he stops and sighs and says 

"Half a chance 

Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night 

Lend an ear, please 

And the band will play the things you'll want to hear 

There's no doubt 

That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout ‘Hip hooray!' 

In the meantime 

There is only one more thing I'd like to say" 

Spoke about the well-known faces appearing in the show 

Star attraction of the evening would be Billy with his big banjo 

But first of all, a sweet little lady who'd have us all screamin' for more 

Lily, the striptease queen with the biggest pair you've ever seen.

Down and down 

Went her long black stockings and, as they hit the ground, the boys went mad 

Everyone agreed 

That it was the greatest time they'd ever had 

On and on 

Now the night was nearly over except for Billy and his big banjo 

Billy sang a song called ‘The Truckdriver Man' 

And we joined in for a chorus or two and then I went to bed. 

"Half a chance 

Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night 

Lend an ear, please 

And the band will play the things you'll want to hear 

There's no doubt 

That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout ‘Hip hooray!' 

In the meantime 

There is only one more thing I'd like to say"
