Lyrics
Debbie, get a move on!
Everybody positions, please
Girls to the front, come on!
Five, six, seven, eight
Hello
Hello
Shoes
I haven't got any
Well you have now, put 'em on
That's two groups, girls
I can't wear them! I'll look like a right sissy!
Well you should have thought about that before you came in
Oi! 50p
What?
50p!
Five, six, seven, eight
Oh arms, Susan Parks
Well, you joinin' in or what?
Oh, Debbie girl, count! Count for Christ's Sakes
Oi, Billy Elliot!
Alright girls, here we go
Airing the sheets
And hang them on the other washing line
MIss, I don't know what to do
Get down
I just gave you 50p!
Travel back, that's lovely
What do I do?
Follow the others
Marching forward to socialism
Miss, what am I meant to be doing?
Arms, Sharon Percy
Miss, I don't know what to do!
Floor-Barre!
What bar?
Plié!
Tendu second
And Plié
Tendu close
Développé devant, left leg
Oi Geordie
Wanna see something
You've never seen before?
And right leg
And that's just off the overtime
Wanna see some more?
And left leg
You think yer smart ya cockney shite
You wanna be suspicious
Two legs
When you were on the picket line
We went and fucked yer missus
All of us at once!
Solidarity solidarity
Solidarity forever
All for one and one for all
Solidarity forever
Solidarity solidarity
Solidarity forever
All for one and one for all
Solidarity forever
Girls to the center, come on!
And now, my lovely ladies, the lesson you've all been waiting for:
Pirouettes! God, help us
Why the hell do I bother?
Okay, into the middle, and thank you, Mr. Braithwaite
Here we go and one, two, three
Billy! Five, six, seven, eight, nine
Spin 'em! Spin 'em, Mr. Braithwaite
You're supposed to be enjoying yourselves
Absolutely bloody hopeless, the whole bloody lot of you's
Yeah, and you're the worst of the bleeding lot, Billy
Okay, forget it, into the corner!
Let's try some chaînés!
And go! Go that's, that's much better, Susan Parks, well done
That's a gold star for you, and that, that's gold star for you Angela Robson. That's two in a row, well done
Okay, try not to kill yourself Tracy Atkinson
Oi! Rudolf Nureyev, come on then!
Okay, class dismissed
Keep it up till Christmas lads
It means a lot to us
We send our kids to private school
On a private bus
We've got a lot to thank you for
Geordie you're a corker
A nice extension on the house and a fortnight in Majorca

Oh, Jackie, I've been meaning to have a word
If things are difficult, we can sort something out
What you talking about?
Well, ya know, if things are a bit tight with the 50p's
50p's?
Well yeah, your Billy hasn't been to boxing for four weeks now, man
What'd'ya mean he hasn't been going to boxing? If he hasn't been going to boxing where the bloody hell has he been going?
Solidarity, solidarity
