| 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 |
| Where we can begin again |
| Feel we can win and then |
| Live just like livin' should be |
| Got a new situation |
| A new destination |
| And no reputation following me |
| We’re getting out |
| We’re moving house |
| We’re starting all over again |
| We’re leaving this mess |
| For our new address |
| Sixty-five Skelmersdale Lane |
| The air is so pure |
| You get drunk just by breathing |
| And the washing stays clean on the line |
| Where there’s space for the kids |
| The garden’s so big |
| It would take you a week just to reach the far side |
| Just pack 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 |
| Now that we’re movin' |
| Now that we’re improvin' |
| Let’s just wash our hands of this lot |
| For it’s no longer fitting for me to be sitting |
| On a sofa, I know for a fact, was knocked off |
| At the weekend a gentleman friend |
| Might take me dancin' 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 |
| Oh bright new day, |
| We’re movin' away |
| We’re starting all over again |
| Oh bright new day |
| We’re goin' away |
| Where nobody’s heard of our name |
| Now we can begin again |
| Feel we can win an' then |
| Live just like livin' should be |
| Got a new situation |
| A new destination |
| And no repuation following me |
| CAST: |
| We’re gettin' out, we’re moving house |
| We’re goin' away, gettin' out today |
| We’re movin', movin', movin', movin', movin' house |
| We’re goin' away |
| Oh bright new day |
