sorry noone got this one.

Girls scrabble round with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

00s

Because I thought it went rather wonderfully with Everyone's A Winner as a thought on how tonight might go.

Here's some more lyrics from a different part of the song that might make it a little easier to identify...

Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman

I think everyone's busy getting their glad rags on

Or busy preparing their acceptance speeches just in case.

Looking at you @VictoriousSockPuppet 😂

VictoriousSockPuppet · 05/09/2020 19:28

Ahem I don't know what you mean, Babooshka

I’m in front of the mirror trying to perfect my Gracious In Defeat face

‘No, really, being nominated was recognition enough and far more than I had hoped for. And (name of winner) is just wonderful, I mean awe-inspiring. I love her’

Bit minimalist, Babooshka. You could've made a bit of an effort

NeedToKnow101 · 05/09/2020 19:58

Hope this isn't too premature..

70s
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)

VictoriousSockPuppet · 05/09/2020 19:59

Looking a bit curvy there, needtoknow. Lockdown been unkind?

Sure you'll soon shed those extra lbs. Eventually

VictoriousSockPuppet · 05/09/2020 20:00

DEFINITELY premature if it's the queen track I think it is

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/09/2020 20:02
