gonna live my life, sharp as a knife
iand've found my groove and i just canand't lose

Party nights, and neon lights

Chorus
If youand're a pub man
or a club man
maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
a white cool cat with a trilby hat
maybe leather and studs is where youand're at
make the most of every day
donand't let hard times stand in your way
give a wham give a bam but donand't give a damn
and'cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!
Now reach up high and touch your soul
the boys from wham! will help you reach that goal
