Number One

Chaz Jankel

Compositor: Chaz Jankel / Ian Dury / Norman Watt-Roy

Number one is a hard time in the making

Number two is the one plane I'm not taking

Number three goes on one knee for a token

Number four is the short straw but it's broken

I'd give my all just to be number one



Number one is a hard time in the making

Don't give (Don't give)

a damn (a damn)

what else (what else)

I am (I am)

I am (I am)

the man in the making



Number five is a bad crime 'round the circut

Number six is a sad dream when you're working

I'd give the world I could be number one

Number one is the one way to salvation



I'll do (I'll do)

my best (my best)

to beat (to beat)

the rest (the rest)

and be (and be)

the best in the nation



I'll stake (I'll stake)

my claim (my claim)

I'll make (I'll make)

my name (my name)

my love (my love)

my game

my vocation



I'd give my all just to be number one

I'd give my all just to be number

I'd give my all just to be number one



Don't give (Don't give)

a damn (a damn)

what else (what else)

I am (I am)

I am (I am)

the man in the making



I'll stake (I'll stake)

my claim (my claim)

I'll make (I'll make)

my name (my name)

my love (my love)

my game my vocation
