[Verse 1: Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley & (Graham Gouldman)]
I need some money to open doors
I won't bend over or lick your paws
You got me red, I'll get me black
My tar town checks come bouncin' back
He wears my suit to make a good impression
He didn't come here for no mad concession
Don't rip me off
'Cause I'm a
Blue chip (Long hair)
Gilted (Weirdo)
Carte blanche, bona fide
Eighteen carat man of means

[Verse 2: Eric Stewart & Lol Creme]
My joint account goes up in smoke
Your drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' coke
Man, he's gonna be a star
Stick with him babe and you'll go far
I've said so baby, what you want of me
I'm already signed up to NSB

[Chorus: Group]
They're alright
Yeah yeah yeah

They're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
They're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 3: Eric Stewart]
You laughed at me when I was down
You thought our Harry would devalue the pound
Worn out with you, yeah and I saw red
You're holding my hand, but you shake my head

[Chorus: Group]
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
You're alright
Yeah yeah yeah
