If I had my time again I would do it all the same And not change a single thing Even when I was to blame For the heartache and the pain That I caused throughout my years How I learned to be a man Through the laughter and the tears Situation no win Rush for a change of atmosphere I can't go on so I give in Gotta get myself right outta here Now I'm fully grown And I know where it's at Somehow I stayed thin While the other guys got fat All the chances that I've blown And the times that I've been down I didn't get too high Kept my feet on the ground (Chorus) (Peter Sellers speaking) Yes, yes, delightful, delightful Rush for a change of atmosphere (Peter Sellers again) Mmm, I wish I could sing like that 'Cause not everything's singing, you know The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody Rhythm and melody (A time to laugh, a time to cry) (x8) And of all my friends You've been the best to me Soon will be the day When I repay you handsomely Broken hearts are hard to mend I know, I've had my share But life just carries on Even when I'm not there (Chorus x2) Gotta get myself right Gotta get myself right Gotta get myself right outta here (x2)
