Tedium is overcome

From obscurity, through melody

And when I'm blind it helps me

See through your key



No one can touch, no need to rush

Presented by my alibi

When I'm down it brings me round

So easily



I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see

I'm gonna take you down to a place

I know you'd rather be

It's just a three minute song

It doesn't last very long

But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be



Hey you can dance

Oooh sha la la la la la la



Common sense has excuses

Recklessness, its uses

But don't go fusing silence with charisma



At nine o'clock you can count on me

And when I'm up I'm ready

Tonight I'm gonna be



I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see

I'm gonna take you down to a place

I know you'd rather be

It's just a three minute song

It doesn't last very long

But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be



Where you can dance



I'm doomed to fail

The stage gives way

It's an apostrophe to my legacy

But though I'm bruised

I'll happily do it all again



At 10 o'clock don't wait up for me

Coz when I'm up I'm ready

Tonight I'm gonna be

Matthew!



I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see

I'm gonna take you down to a place

I know you'd rather be

It's just a three minute song

It doesn't last very long

But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be



And you an dance if you want to

Show appreciation

But step up to the mic for the full sensation



And you can dance

And you can dance

And you can dance

And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la



And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la
