[Mrs Johnstone]
Oh, bright new day
We're moving away

[Mickey]
Why Mam?

[Mrs Johnstone]
We're starting all over again

[Mickey]
Where's Linda?

[Mrs Johnstone]
Woo, bright new day
We're goin' away

[Mickey]
Where?

[Mrs Johnstone]
Where nobody's heard of our name

Sammy:
We're going away?
From here?

[Mrs Johnstone]
Where we can begin again
Feel we can win and then
Live just like living should be
Got a new situation
A new destination
And no reptuation following me

[Mickey]
Linda, we're moving

[Linda]
So are we

[Mrs Johnstone]
We're getting out
We're moving house
We're starting all over again

[Mickey & Linda]
Yaba Daba Doo

[Mrs Johnstone]
We're leaving this mess
For our new address
65 Skelmersdale Lane

[Sammy]
Is that in the country?

[Donna Marie]
What's it like there?

[Mrs Johnstone]
The air is so pure
You get drunk just by breathing
There's s___e for the kids
Cos the garden's so big
It would take you a week just to reach the far side

Come on, Sammy, Mickey, now you've all gotta help
Urm, excuse us, we've gotta pack
We're moving away

[Neighbour]
Oh thats too bad

[Milkman]
Oh isn't it sad

[Neighbours]
Praise the Lord, he has delivered us at last

[Neighbour]
They're getting out
They're moving house
Life won't be the same as in the past

[Neighbour]
We musn't scoff
The Johnstones are off

[Neighbours]
Claps your hands
Grab your whistle
Give it a blast

[Policeman]
Goodbye to the riff raff
The trash and the trouble

[Neighbour]
Goodbye to the scum and the scruff

[Milkman]
Wherever you're going
We hope you go knowing

[Neighbours]
That as far as you're going
Won't be far enough

[Mrs Johnstone]
Just pack up the bags
We're leaving the rags
The wobbly wardrobe, chest of drawers that never close
The two legged chair, the carpet so bare
You wouldn't see it if it wasn't for the holes
Here Sammy
Now that we're moving
Now that we're improving
Let's just wash our hands of this lot
It's no longer fitting, for me to be sitting
On a sofa I know for a fact was ripped off

[Policeman]
Ripped off

[Mrs Johnstone]
We might get a car
Be all lardie dah
And go driving out to the sands

[Linda]
We're going too

[Mrs Johnstone]
At the weekend
A gentleman friend
Might take me dancing
To the local bands
We'll have a front room
And then if it should happen
That His Holiness flies in from Rome
He can sit there with me, eating toast, drinking tea
In the sort of surroundings that remind him of home

[Mickey]
It's like the country, isn't it, mam?

[Mrs Johnstone]
Oh, we'll be alright out here son
Away from the muck and the dirt and the b_____ trouble I could dance
Come here

[Mickey]
Get off

[Mrs Johnstone]
Oh, bright new day
We're moving away
We're starting all over again
Oh, bright new day
We're going away
Where nobody's heard of our name

Eh what are you laughing at?

[Mickey]
I'm not laughing Mam, I'm smiling
I haven't seen you happy like this for ages

[Mrs Johnstone]
Oh, I am happy now
Eh, where's the others?

[Mickey]
They went into that field over there

[Mrs Johnstone]
Sammy!
Get off that bleeding cow before i kill you, that cow's a bull
Come here the lot of you
Now we can begin again
Feel we can win and then
Live just like living should be
Got a new situation
A new destination
And no reputation following me

[All]
We're getting out
We're moving house
We're going away
Getting out today
Getting out today
We're moving moving moving moving moving house
We're going away
Oh bright new day
