These lyrics are taken from the published sheet music for this single

[Dennis Waterman as Hildebrand ‘Hildy’ Johnson]
Oh we’re gonna make the whole town stop and stare
Give me half a chance and I’ll be there
When we hit the coast I’ll guarantee
We’re gonna shake the city, you and me

Come on we’re gonna tell this sad old town goodbye
And then the only limit is the sky
How we stayed so long I’ll never know
We’re gonna shake the city, here we go

I’ve had enough of the windy city
Where the breezes blow your hat away
Out on the coast theres the movie city,
Believe me babe we’re going right away
Just think about it in an hour or so,
We’re heading for the future,
A brand new shiny future,
And we won’t be coming back I know



Oh we’re gonna make the whole town stop and stare,
Give me half a chance and I’ll be there
When we hit the coast I’ll guarantee
We’re gonna shake the city, you and me

Come on we’re gonna tell this sad old town goodbye
And then the only limit is the sky
How we stayed so long I’ll never know
We’re gonna shake the city, here we go

Bet you a grand we’d make the break
Into some town where dreams are made
Speaking of dreams we’ve got a few
More than enough to see us through

Oh we’re gonna make the whole town stop and stare
Give me half a chance and I’ll be there
When we hit the coast I’ll guarantee
We’re gonna shake the city, you and me


Come on we’re gonna tell this sad old town goodbye
And then the only limit is the sky
How we stayed so long I’ll never know
We’re gonna shake the city, here we go

When we hit the coast I’ll guarantee
We’re gonna shake the city, you and me
