(Rafferty)
Here we go, time to start, if youre ready,
Just get on out there, dont look so serious,
Take that expression off your face, put a smile there in its place.
Now you know were on your side, so dont worry,
You look the part with your faded Levis shirt,
Youve got a brand new Telecaster, what more could you want?
(chorus)
What am I doin here? What does it all mean to you?
If I could only disappear, I wonder what you all would do?
Dont forget what we told you, itll be all right
As long as you remember, theres so much at stake,
We cant afford to make mistakes, tonight of all nights.
(guitar solo)
(chorus)
Here we go, time to start, if youre ready,

Take that expression off your face, put a smile there in its place.
Now you know were on your side, so dont worry,
As long as you remember, theres so much at stake,
We cant afford to make mistakes, tonight of all nights.
