Happy Endings

[PETER SKELLERN as SKIP (DAVID SKIPTON)]

[Piano intro]

[Chorus]
Slow down
Slow down
You ain't a-gonna make the night
Slow down
Slow down
You're burning your candle too bright
Slow down
Slow down
You ain't a-gonna make it through
Slow down
Slow down
Cos I ain't keeping up with you

[Piano solo]

[Verse]
Just cos you got itchy feet
That's tapping double time
Don't forget you dance with me
So keep in step with mine
Take it easy
Take it down
Put that foot on the brake
Throw in the anchor
Cut out the coal
Heave on the hook
For heaven's sake

[Chorus]
Slow down
Slow down
You're taking it far too fast
Slow down
Slow down
You ain't a-gonna make it last

[Clarinet and sax solo]

[Chorus]
You sure is jumping
You is flying like a bird
Your barrel roll is crazy
Your Immelmann's absurd
You ain't a-gonna make it
To the morning and the milk
Put out the mayday
Head for home
Shut up the shop
And hit the silk

[Chorus]
Slow down
Slow down
You ain't a-gonna make the night
Slow down
Slow down
You're burning your candle too bright
Slow down
Slow down
You ain't a-gonna make it through
Slow down
Slow down
Cos I ain't keeping up with you

[Clarinet and sax outro]
