One more song
 Alright, London
 This is your last chance to sing
 And your last chance to dance
 So let's do this one together
 One (two)
 (One, two, three, four)
 Well, I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
 All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
 All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand
 All my friends are getting married, mortgages and pension plans
 And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
 And I'm happy, and I'm settled in the person I've become
 But that doesn't mean that I'm settled up, sitting out the game
 Time may change a lot, but some things may stay the same
 I won't sit down, I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 I won't sit down, and I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 Well, maturity's a wrapped up package deal, so it seems
 Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
 All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
 Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
 Oh, but no one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great
 About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate
 Look, I'm meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
 Well, if that's your road then take it, but it's not the road for me
 I won't sit down, I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 I won't sit down, I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And if all you ever do with your life
 Is just photosynthesize
 Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
 That you waste wondering when you're gonna die
 Mr. Benjamin Lloyd on mandocaster
 Reintroducing Mr. Chris Farren of Fake Problems
 On the bass, Oxford's very own, Mr. Tarrant Anderson
 On the keys, on the floor tom, on the cowbell
 And the backing vocals, and I'm giving him a little kiss
 Mr. Matthew Nasir
 On the drums
 Brain surgeon, astrophysicist, mountain climber, drummer
 Mr. Nigel Powell
 So I'll play and you sing
 The perfect way for the evening to begin
 Now I'll play and everybody will sing
 The perfect way for the evening to begin
 Here we go
 I won't sit down, I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 I won't sit down, I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 And I won't sit down, and I won't shut up
 And most of all I will not grow up
 Thank you and goodnight
