Come in
Good morning, Ms Monroe
Erm, have you got a mo?
There's something you should know
It's about Billy Bird
He left without a word
And what is more I've heard
He had apparently been taking liberties with the company accounts
Somebody must've sneaked 'cause there's a vacant seat
And that's what I'm here about
You see these opportunities, opportunities
They don't come along too often
Opportunities, opportunities
You've gotta take them whenever you can
("Opportunity knocks") La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la ("Opportunity knocks")
Opportunities, opportunities
You've got to grab them with both of your hands
I know, it is a shame
But if you play that game
You've no one else to blame
But... how's the family?
Perhaps your husband's free to play some golf with me
This couldn't be your son
No, no, you're much too young
And could this be your daughter too?
You really are a wonder
I'd envy anyone who gets to be under you
You know these opportunities, opportunities
They don't come along too often
Opportunities, opportunities
You've gotta take them whenever you can
("Opportunity knocks") La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la ("Opportunity knocks")
Opportunities, opportunities
You've got to grab them with both of your hands
Good morning, Officers
What's that? You'd like a word
Concerning William Bird, hmm...
Well, yes, we had a drink
He went straight home I think
This isn't blood, it's ink
So I have muddy shoes, what's that to do with you?
To own a shovel isn't odd
Hey, take your hands off me!
I will come quietly, just tell me
Tell me if I've got the job
Because these
("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
They don't come along too often
("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
You've gotta take them whenever you can
("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
They have come and gone too often
("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
You've got to grab them with both of your hands
("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
You gottaโ
Urgh
