[Verse 1]
Friday's child is planning to go out for the first time
Says, "Don't worry, Mum, I won't be out that late"
Can't be playing those passive games right now
They're out of date; you're awfully sweet
Haven't got the time, growing up so fast, got better things to do

[Chorus]
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la

[Verse 2]
Kicking around in the centre of the town, looking in shop windows
Those mannequins look far too real at night
Friday's child doesn't know if it's awake or if it's dreaming
Says, "Don't worry, Dad
I'll do my bit, I'll raise the flag, I'll be just like you"

[Chorus]
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la

[Bridge]
"Don't worry, Mum, I'm not that dumb, I'll be just like you"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la
You can get what you want
You're so young and lovely
Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la

[Outro]
We all know why
Why you do it
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
We all know why
Why you do it
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
We all know why
Why you do it
La-la-la-la, la-la-la

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
