The Bottom Line - Big Audio Dynamite

There’s a new dance that’s going around

When the hits start flying, you gotta get down

All the young people dance round the square

The old-time groove is really nowhere

So when you reach the bottom line

The only thing to do is climb

Pick yourself up off the floor

Don’t know what you’re waiting for

A dance to the tune of economic decline

Is when you do the bottom line

Nagging questions always remain:

Why did it happen and who was to blame?

So when you reach the bottom line

The only thing to do is climb

Pick yourself up off the floor

Don’t know what you’re waiting for

The horses are on the track

They’ve been doing it down at the zoo (Ooh, hah, ooh-ooh, hah; ooh, hah,

ooh-ooh, hah)

And I can show ya;

here’s what to do

All of the States and all the UK (Hey, hey, hey-hey-hey; hey, hey, hey-hey-hey)

Even the Soviets are swinging away

So when you reach the bottom line

The only thing to do is climb

Pick yourself up off the floor

Anything ya want is yours

The road ahead’s clear as a motorway

Give us this day our daily breads and send us on our way

Perchance to dream or take a holiday

Romeo, oh Romeo, you gotta have your say

When you reach the bottom line

The only thing to do is climb

Pick yourself up off the floor

Don’t know what you’re waiting for

So when you reach the bottom line

The only thing to do is climb

Pick yourself up off the floor

Anything ya want is yours

I’m gonna take you to, I’m gonna take you to

I’m gonna take you to, part two — part two!

Part two!
