Bette Midler
Strike While It’s Hot
[Hicks] When that picture gets off that curve ball
[Miller] Does that mean that there was no ball at all?
When the preacher catches you asleep
[Hicks] Does that mean that you're some kind of a creep?
[Together] When you standin' on the corner
Actin' like a stupid loner waitin' for a bus
But the bus'll pass you by
And you couldn't catch a tie
And you can bite its dust
[Miller] When you wish that's all that it could be
[Together] And your reach out for somethin' so impatiently
[Hicks] And your days turn into months on end
[Miller] It's time to flip the station to start up again (?)
[Together] Time to roll over, see what other tricks you got
Time to move over, let the new guy take a shot
Strike it while it's hot
'Cause later there might not
Be any room for thought
Do do do-do...
[Hicks] When the rainclouds pass and it stays dry
[Together] Does that mean that there was no clouds up in the sky?
[Miller] And when the rain comes back and it pours good
[Togther] Does that mean that you're finally understood?
So you want to feed your belly
And you jump into the deli
Lookin' for a fight
And you have a close encounter
With somebody at the counter
Lookin' for a fight
[Miller] When that store runs all out of your size
[Together] Does that rock keep your plant into rubber skies? (?)
What's the combination
Of the latest compliation
That's a mean interpretation
To avoid a reputation
[Hicks] Can we simplify and make it work?
[Together] Time to roll over see what other clips you got
Time to move over, let the new guy take a shot
Strike it while it's hot
'Cause later there might not
Be any room for thought
[Guitar solo]
[Violin solo]
[Hicks] So you jump back in and play some more
And you're breakin' all records that have gone before
[Miller] And you turn yourself a 180
Does that mean that your eyes are looking backwardly?
[Hicks] So you'd like to turn around
It's the other side of town
But it's not easy
[Miller] No, no, no
And every time you look
It seems like they took
Away the scenery
[Together] Ooh, it's a view that you're not quite used to
But since when did that ever seem to bother you?
Time to roll over, see what other tricks you got
Time to move over, let the new guy take a shot
Strike it while it's hot
'Cause later there might not
Be any room for thought
Strike it while it's hot
You've got to
Strike it while it's hot!
