When the cars are all in knots 
And the clocks are looming 
When the puddles have all sploshed 
And her dress is fuming 
With her brolly inside out 
And her head scarf streaming 
I don’t know how but she always keeps on 
I don’t know how but she always keeps on 
Beaming 
When her ribs are wide as arms 
And her hope’s capsizing 
Still those cartoon stars and hearts 
Swirl round every miser 
Bashed and dashed against the rocks 
With mascara pouring 
I don’t know how but she always comes out 
I don’t know how, but she always comes out 
Soaring 
I feel a high crashing to Earth 
She feels a rest well deserved 
I see a low bottomless pit 
She sees a well and makes a wish 
Sha la la la, la la la, la la la, look at her light up 
Sha la la la, la la la, la la la, lighting the night up 
Sha la la la, la la la, la la la, look at her light up 
Sha la la la, la la la, la la la, lighting the night up
