Lyrics

Introduction.

Ladies and gentlemen
Thank you so much for coming out tonight
To the world famous 21st Century Blues Club
We got a very special guest for you tonight coming on
All the way from London, England, you know the place
A little help from Mike Sabath (Mike Sabath)
And our house band, the Moon Girls
Ladies and gentlemen
Give a warm heartbreak welcome
To the wonderful, RAYE
