Opportunity' Knox Lyrics
[00:02.13] Come in
[00:10.97] Good morning, Ms Monroe
[00:13.20] Erm, have you got a mo?
[00:14.88] There's something you should know
[00:18.44] It's about Billy Bird
[00:20.77] He left without a word
[00:23.07] And what is more I've heard
[00:26.31] He had apparently been taking liberties with the company accounts
[00:33.99] Somebody must've sneaked 'cause there's a vacant seat
[00:38.03] And that's what I'm here about
[00:40.62] You see these opportunities, opportunities
[00:45.68] They don't come along too often
[00:49.73] Opportunities, opportunities
[00:53.54] You've gotta take them whenever you can
[00:57.14] ("Opportunity knocks") La-la-la, la-la-la
[01:00.83] La-la-la, la-la-la ("Opportunity knocks")
[01:05.50] Opportunities, opportunities
[01:08.89] You've got to grab them with both of your hands
[01:18.10] I know, it is a shame
[01:20.37] But if you play that game
[01:22.17] You've no one else to blame
[01:24.44] But… how's the family?
[01:27.84] Perhaps your husband's free to play some golf with me
[01:33.44] This couldn't be your son
[01:35.52] No, no, you're much too young
[01:37.67] And could this be your daughter too?
[01:41.28] You really are a wonder
[01:43.70] I'd envy anyone who gets to be under you
[01:47.84] You know these opportunities, opportunities
[01:52.61] They don't come along too often
[01:56.68] Opportunities, opportunities
[02:00.46] You've gotta take them whenever you can
[02:03.97] ("Opportunity knocks") La-la-la, la-la-la
[02:08.37] La-la-la, la-la-la ("Opportunity knocks")
[02:12.94] Opportunities, opportunities
[02:15.81] You've got to grab them with both of your hands
[02:25.03] Good morning, Officers
[02:27.10] What's that? You'd like a word
[02:29.43] Concerning William Bird, hmm…
[02:32.64] Well, yes, we had a drink
[02:34.94] He went straight home I think
[02:37.04] This isn't blood, it's ink
[02:39.92] So I have muddy shoes, what's that to do with you?
[02:44.37] To own a shovel isn't odd
[02:47.68] Hey, take your hands off me!
[02:49.97] I will come quietly, just tell me
[02:52.50] Tell me if I've got the job
[02:54.78] Because these
[02:56.26] ("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
[03:01.28] They don't come along too often
[03:05.04] ("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
[03:08.22] You've gotta take them whenever you can
[03:11.62] ("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
[03:15.19] They have come and gone too often
[03:18.37] ("Opportunities") Opportunities, opportunities
[03:21.05] You've got to grab them with both of your hands
[03:23.76] ("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
[03:27.75] ("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
[03:31.65] ("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
[03:33.90] ("Opportunities") When opportunity knocks
[03:38.16] You gotta—
[03:39.42] Urgh
