Lyrics of 'The Musical' by McFly

Ten years have gone by, in the blink of an eye
Time really seems to fly, when you're in McFly
So thanks for coming here tonight
I hope that we aren't playing shite
And if we are please be polite, or Dougie will cry
I wrote this song so that collectively we could get some perspective
Before we play, and you scream cheer and clap
So please allow me if I may to take you some days far away
And quickly give a brief 10 year recap

In 2001 I attended an audition and became the 4th addition to the Busted 1st edition
After 24 hours, those frick' Busted bastards, kicked me out and told me I was not what the're after
But I'd have done the same if I was in their position, but I'd kecked the one out ith the eyebrow condition
The wasn't the end, no it didn't stop there, in 2003 up in Bolton somewhere

I met someone with talent oozing out of his bones, that's right folks he was called Danny Jones
His skills on the guittar really are quite insane, but what balances his talent is his microscopic brain
He agreed that him and me should write a bunch of songs, so we got a record deal and here's where it goes wrong
We held an audition and two guys came along called Dougie and Harry and that's how McFly was born

Being McFly is pretty awesome, you get to do radical things
Like touring around the world from Madrid to Brazil
Or building schools in Africa for kids that are ill
Yes, every day is different but it's equally thrilling, there's no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring

Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why, it's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y!

Being McFly is pretty wicked but I am just one of four guys
I'm the only who's not been on reality shows, but if I did know I'd be receiving your votes
'Cause I could do the tango with some folks that are famous, or chill out in the jungle eating ostrich's anus
Or there's Big Brother house but I would never go in, 'cause I'd rather sing some opera with Laurence Llewelyn Bowen
Or I could stay home writing songs for One Direction, in search for sing alongable musical perfection and spend an hour admiring my Harry Potter wand collection

Dougie wants to add a joke in here about erection

But it's a family show, so I'm making some corrections
For those penis eating, jungle swingers, ballroom dancing, opera singers

Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why
It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y!

It's been m-otional
C-eems so f-ortless
I'd do it all again for the l of it
Just don't ask me y

It's been m-barrassing
C-eems so f-ing stressful
But overall it's been de lightful
It's hard to y

Every now and then the strangest things go on
Like being on the cover of a gay magazine with no clothes on
But after 10 years of it, we just don't give a shit
We will do anything, literally anything
We might even pull our trousers down and wave around our dingalings

Being McFly is pretty awesome, but it's not been the easiest ride
Dougie went to rehab and thank God he came back
I lost loads of weight and now I'm no longer fat
Danny's going bald so he might start wearing hats
We've had our share of tabloid covered exploiting romance
We still don't know if Harry really shagged Lindsay Lohan

Check me out, 'cause I can play piano with one hand
That's how awesome you become if you are in my band
You paid for the ticket so should probably buy a programme

Oh, being McFly is freakin' awesome!
But I am only one of four
The other three are equally as awesome as me
We're just about as awesome as a pop band can be
Our awesomeness is tangible, it's easy to see
Why we're so freaking radical, occasionally magical
Dramatical, fanatical, for us, matter-of-factual
Tactual, fantastical, contractual, we sold out shows!
There's no turning back at all from McFly

M - emotional after 10 years
C - see my eyes are filling with tears
F - it's effortless
L - like elephants!
Y - 'cause we're awesome!
Just like McFly!

M! C! F! L! Y!
