STEP IN TIME LYRICS

[SWEEPS 1]  Brush away the dirt and soot

[SWEEP 2] Brush away the tears

[SWEEP 3] Cobwebs that aren't swept away

[SWEEPS 4] Hang around for years

[GROUP 1] We may look a motley crew

[GROUP 2]     We may look a motley crew

Smudged with tar and grime

 Smudged with tar and grime

But when you need a helping hand

                                  But when you need a helping hand

We try to step in, try to step in 

Try to step in just in time

[BERT & ENSEMBLE] Over the rooftops step in time

Over the rooftops step in time

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme, 

over the rooftops step in time

Kick your knees up, step in time.

Kick your knees up, step in time.

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

Kick your knees up, step in time.

[MARY]  Childhood is a step in time, parenthood's the same.

[MARY/BERT]  Never miss a chance to get it right.

[BERT]  Don't it seem a perfect crime, don't it seem a shame

[MARY/BERT]  When the steps aren’t going as smoothly as they might?

That's when we step in, step in time. 

That's when we step, step in time!

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

That's when we step in, step in time!

Link your elbows, step in time! 

Link your elbows step in time! 

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

Link your elbows step in time! 

Kick your knees up, step in time.

Kick your knees up, step in time.

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

Kick your knees up, step in time. Oh!

Step in time  Step in time  STEP! STEP! STEP!

Step in time  Step in time  STEP! STEP! STEP!

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

Never need a reason, never need a rhyme.

If you kick your knees up,

kick your knees up, 

kick your knees up, 

kick your knees up

Step, Step

Step, Step, Step, Step, Step, Step, Step, Step

Step, Step, Step, Step, Step, Step, Step

Never need a reason if you step in time!
