British Invasion

Got a ticket to the show but I got no date
Missed the bus, missed the train, gonna be a little late
I run in the arena and she's dancing on my seat
To the Dave Clark 5 and the Mersey beat

So damn pretty it almost hurt
Black eye liner and a Twiggy skirt
Oi oi oi! She's a British Invasion
Oi oi oi! And she's changing my station
Goodbye to my blue suede rock and roll
That little British Invasion just invaded my soul

Couldn't catch her name over the crazy crowd
'Cause the amps of the Animals were way too loud
Then she grabbed my hand and I felt that rush
As we started slow dancing to A Kind Of Hush
Strangers swaying to Petula Clark
Falling deeper in the dark

Oi oi oi! She's a British Invasion
Oi oi oi! And she's changing my station
Goodbye to my blue suede rock and roll
That little British Invasion just invaded my soul

Throwing out the clothes I wear
And I'm growing out my white boy hair
She's a little slice of the U.K.
Right here in Philadelphay-ay

Oi oi oi! She's my British Invasion
Oi oi oi! And she's changing my station
Good-bye to my blue suede rock and roll
Standing on the subway tracks
Holding on to my Union Jack
Goodbye to my blue suede rock and roll
That little British Invasion just invaded my soul
