[00:01.07]Are you all settled in? Right, then we can begin. My name is…
[00:04.96]ALFIE!
[00:05.82]Once there was a time
[00:10.91]When my mind lay on higher things
[00:17.35]And once there was a time
[00:22.74]I could find pretty words to sing
[00:28.98]But now, well now I find
[00:34.85]It saves time to say what you mean
[00:40.69]I know it seems so unrefined
[00:46.62]But it’s time to let off some steam
[00:52.38]Oh come on!
[00:54.03]Everybody knows that No means Yes
[00:58.58]Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
[01:04.75]But the more I look through them the more I see
[01:10.43]I’m becoming more like Alfie
[01:17.57]Once there was a time
[01:22.47]When a kind word could be enough
[01:28.75]And once there was a time
[01:34.46]I could blindfold myself with love
[01:40.56]But not now—now I’m resigned
[01:46.35]To the kind of life I had reserved
[01:52.06]For other guys less smart than I
[01:58.02]Y’know—the kind who will always end up with the girls
[02:04.09]And besides
[02:05.33]Everybody knows that No means Yes
[02:09.85]Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
[02:16.04]But the more I look through them the more I see
[02:21.78]I’m becoming more like Alfie
[02:27.74]Oh come on!
[02:46.22]I’m becoming more like Alfie
