Respectable … Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree … Showing Out

Lyrics

Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
Showing out, showing out

You’d better live in love
In luxury and sunlight
And don’t be dining out
On foolish dreams every night

Only takes a moment
To feel all right
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
Showing out

I’m showing out
Showing out
I’m showing out

Can’t afford to wear
Diamond a pearl that’s okay
Wouldn’t want to be
That kind of girl anyway

Only takes a moment
To feel all right
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
Showing out

I can supply you things
I can provide everything
If it’s the man’s hand
That pays the price
Then you belong to me

Can’t afford to buy
Finer things that’s all right
We won’t lose our heads
For anything, anytime
Only takes a moment to feel all right

Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend
Showing out, showing out
