Lyrics for singles by The Sweet

Little Willy

North side, east side
Little Willy Willy wears the crown
He's the king around town

Dancing, glancing
Willy sends them silly
with his star shooter shimmy shuffle down

'Way past one and feeling alright
'cause with little Willy round, they can last all night
Lay down . . . stay down . . . stay down, down

'Cause little Willy Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go
Try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy Willy won't go home

Uptown, downtown
Little Willy Willy drives them wild with his runaround style
Inside, outside
Willy sends them silly with his starshine shimmy shuffle smile

Mama done chase Willy down thru' the hall
But laugh Willy laugh --- he don't care at all
Lay down . . . stay down . . . stay down, down

[chorus]

Little Willy Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't
Little Willy Willy won't, Willy won't, Willy won't

Ballroom Blitz

{spoken by Brian Connolly}
Are you ready, Steve? (Uh-huh)
Andy? (Yeah)
Mick? (Okay)
Alright, fellas, well, let's go

Well, it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you did to me, ah-ha
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact, his eyes are as red as a sun
And the girl in the corner, let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said, "Everyone, attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear, there's nothing left of you, ah-ha

Now the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh, yeah, it was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus]

[chorus]

It's, it's the ballroom blitz
It's, it's the ballroom blitz
It's, it's the ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's the ballroom blitz

Fox on the Run

I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

Okay, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked alright before

Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a-running
Take a run and hide yourself away
(Foxy on the run) F-foxy
Fox on the run and hide away

You, you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand (second hand)
I've heard it all before

I don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

[chorus]

[chorus]

Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run
Fox on the run
