Now playing Study no 1 in C Major from Bach's 'Well Tempered Clavier. Arranged by Martin Reyto

Choose...

Choose Life

Choose strife

Choose a husband

Choose a wife

Choose to cut off all their tails with a great big knife

Or to give it your all

And be lord of the fife

Or maybe the lady

And then do it twice

Choose hope

Choose dope

Choose the Queen or Prince Philip

Or even the Pope

Choose soap on a rope

Choose to shut up and cope

Or lie down, or fall down

And roll down the slope

Choose God

Choose Bod

Or simply choose just to sod

Them all and go become a Mod-

-dern girl or boy

Choose pain.

Choose joy.

Choose to be somebody else's toy.

Just for a while

Until they smile

Then choose to lie down with them in a great big pile

Choose Hell

Choose Well

Choose to be ringing a bell

Or wondering where that smell

Is coming from

Choose Right

Choose Wrong

Choose to ignore this song

Or maybe sing along

Whilst beating a gong

Choose to learn to play Pong

Choose to wear a sarong

Choose to play Mah-Jong

Choose Shanghai

Choose Hong Kong

Choose pain

Choose gain

Choose to go insane

Choose a brand new brain

Or just make it plain

Thast it's all in vain

And you're not coming back

Just to do it all again

In the rain

Choose beer

Choose fear

Choose to tell your grandmother that you're queer

Or maybe just blow it out of your ear

At the end of the year

Choose cheap

Choose dear.

Choose far

Choose near

Choose me

Choose you

Choose yellow

Choose blue

Choose to send a small boy

Back up the chimney flue

Cos there's nothing else to do.

Choose Scooby-Doo

Choose your lines

Choose your cue

Choose your place

Choose your face

Choose your position

In the human race

Choose now

Choose a cow

Choose to wonder where and how

On earth we live

And each day we give

So much of our mind

Choose space

Choose Rhyme

And ignore the grime

At the end of the line

Because all this time

The choice

Is yours.
