There’s a new girl in town – I’ve seen her around – she smiles when she says hello
I thought I had scored but when I could not afford to take her to the picture show
She put me on the short list
I only made it to a short list
Uh huh
To earn a few bob I went for a job because I really needed the dough
I spoke to the man – he shook my hand – he said “son I’m gonna let you know”
We’ll put me on the short list
I only made it to the short list
Ha
Well it just don’t matter how it all turns out because
In the end babe there ain’t no doubt
If you’s five or sixty five
Nobody get’s out of life alive because
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody’s on the short list
That’s right
Instrumental
Well it just don’t matter how it all turns out because
Babe in end there ain’t no doubt
If you’s five or sixty five
Nobody get’s out of life alive because
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody’s on the short list
Everybody
Everybody’s on the short list
