69 it was fine you said
But by 79 it's gonna be mine I said
70,71 rang the knell
72 we went through hell
73 & 74 only gave us more
Bloody bloody bloody bore

But now it's here
Our new year
It's gonna be

78 revolutions to minute
78 revolutions to minute now

75 the same old jive
Christ won't you tell me why we're still alive?
76 no kick you bet
But no way we ain't dead yet
But now it's here our new year gonna be

78 revolutions to minute
78 revolutions to minute now

It got better in 77
You said god knows it weren't heaven
We say go stuff your acceptable level
Stuff it we know it weren't no revel
Weren't no revel revel revel revel revel revolution

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
Make up you mind drove you blind .... gonna be

78 revolutions to minute
78 revolutions to minute now
I said now, I mean now, not tomorrow, do it now
