Intro

    

Verse

They cried the tears they shed the fears,
Up and down the land,
They stole guitars, or used guitars,
So the tape would understand.

Chorus

Without even the slightest hope
of a thousand sales,
Just as if, as if there was,
hitsville in UK,
I know the boy was all alone,
'til the Hitsville hit UK.

Verse

They say true talent
will always emerge in time.
When lightning hits small wonder,
Its Fast Rough Factory time.

Chorus

No expense accounts, or lunch discounts,
Or hyping up the charts,
The band went in and knocked em dead,
in two minutes fifty-nine,
I know the boy was all alone,
'til the Hitsville hit UK 
[one verse xylo solo]:
         
        

Chorus

No slimy deals with smarmy eels,
In Hitsville, UK,
Let's shake and say, "we'll operate,
In hitsville UK",
I know the girl felt all alone,
'til the Hitsville hit UK 

Verse

The mutants creeps & musclemen,
are shaking like a leaf.
It blows a hole in the radio,
when it hasn't sounded good all week.

Chorus

A mike 'n boom, in your livin' room,
in Hitsville UK,
No consumer trials, nor A.O.R.,
in Hitsville UK.
I know the boy felt all alone
'til the Hitsville hit UK.

Outro

Now the boys and girls are not alone,
Now that Hitsville hit UK...
