Price and Son Theme / The Most Beautiful Thing in the World

Trust your feet in Price and Son
Our work is tried and true
Practical, pragmatical
Steadfast and sturdy too (sturdy too)
If you stroll or saunter and or walk, jog, hop or run
The prudent shoe for you to choose is
Price and Son

You might think beauty comes in spring and sparrow
Or when the sun rise hits the morning dew
But if you walk the straight and narrow
You'll find the elegance and comfort is a-
Do you know what the most beautiful thing in the world is Charlie?

A shoe!

The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie, that I know
Sing it Charlie!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world!

Charlie, it's beautiful

For generations have paved the way before you
You'll be next in line when my time is through
And there's a saying handed down I've found of value
That you can tell about the fella from his-

Shoe!

Ha ha!

The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie, that I know!
I know!

The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!

But what if I don't want to make shoes?

You're a right funny kid, you are

Ooooooooo
Ooooooooo
Aaaah!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie, that I know!
I know!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!

Feels like I'm dancing across the high wire
Or bravely soaring up into the blue
Just like a rocket lifts with sparks and fire
Feels like the magic never ends inside these-

Take those things off your feet and get inside here, stupid boy!

Charlie, here are the shoes I told you about! Come have a look-see!
Aren't they the most necessary things ever?
If you want to slip a ring on my finger, you'll first slip these shoes on my feet

It's a tad posh for life in North Hampton, wouldn't you say?

Then good thing we're moving to London!
And won't they make a fittin' farewell to the stink of cattle farms and tanin' leather?
Oh, we may have been born in a small factory town
But we sure as hell don't have to die there!

You see the price? There's three months rent!

Pinch 'em or pay for 'em, that is up to you, but these shoes are in my future!

To new beginnings
Hello to sunny days
We're upward mobile now
Goodbye to small town ways
'Til it's impossible to find
A trace of what we left behind
And our defining element is in these
Shoes!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world

Charlie, that I know!

I know!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!

Your life, your future, is right here at this factory! You belong here!

No Dad, I belong with Nicola in London

No, you belong here

Will you toast my journey?

But to leave your home and family for a job shopping in London!

Marketing, Dad
Richard Bailey has offered Nicola and me positions marketing real estate

You're breaking my heart, Charlie

To you, Dad

Shoes can protect a man's journey, but only his heart can choose the path
And so a toast to our own Charlie
May you never fail to point your shoes back home

To Charlie!

It's beautiful
It's beautiful (To Charlie!)
It's beautiful
It's beautiful (To Charlie!)

These shoes are symbols of our family's history!

These shoes will carry me to where I want to be! (Feel's like I'm-)

These shoes are symbols of (dancing!) (These shoes will-)
Our family's history (carry me to where I want to be)

Don't you go anywhere, 'cause you belong to me!

You all do realise you're talking about shoes?

The most beautiful thing in the world
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie, it's
Beautiful (Beautiful)
Beautiful (Beautiful)

Beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie, that I know!
I know!

The most beautiful thing in the world!
The most beautiful thing in the world, Charlie
It's beautiful
It's beautiful
It's beautiful
It's beautiful!
