Step In Time (Live)

Brush away the dirt and soot
Brush away your tears
Cobwebs that aren't swept away
Hang around for years.

In all weathers, up all hours
We can see for miles
Our idea of heaven is
A night out on the tiles.

We may look a motley crew
Smudged with tar and grime
But when you need a helping hand
We try to step in
Try to step in
Just in time.

We will step in (Step in time)
We will step in (Step in time)
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
We will step in
Step in time.

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.

Watch your step, but step in time
Watch your step, but 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.

Childhood is a step in time
Parenthood's the same
Never miss a chance to get it right
Whew!
Don't it seem a perfect crime
Don't it seem a shame
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.

(Dance sequence)

Spin spin spin spin spin
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
Link your elbows, step in time
Step in time, step-step in time.

Just remember when you're low
Feeling in the wars
Someone's up your chimney
And it isn't Santa Claus.

If you need us, if you don't (if you need us, if you don't)
Doesn't make much odds (doesn't make much odds)
We'll be watching over you (we'll be watching over you)
Brushes, brooms and, (brushes, brooms and,)
Brushes, brushes, broom
And rods!

Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops.

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.

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.

Step step step step
Step step step step.
