We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
Bein' on the bottom line
Sure ain't no fun

But if we should be evicted
Huh, from our homes
We'll just move somewhere else
And still carry on

Oh
(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) hold on
Ooh, aah, baby

(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) ooh ooh aah

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now

Aah

Now we may not know, huh
Where our next meal is coming from
But with you by my side
I'll face what is to come

Aah, boy I want to thank you
Yeah, for loving me this way
Things may be a little hard now
But we'll find a brighter day

Oh, yeah
(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) hold on
Ooh, ooh ooh

(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) won't be long
Ooh, yeah

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
Ooh ooh ooh

Talk about the only way is up, baby
Talk about the only way

Talk about the only way is up, baby
Talk about the only way
Talk about the only way is up, baby

(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) hold on
Hey

(Hold on) hold on
(Hold on) won't be long
No no no

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now

The only way is up
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me now

The only way is up
For you and me now
The only way is up
For you and me now

The only way is up
For you and me now
The only way is up
For you and me now

    Song Fact

    I remember when this tune was blasted out of every radio as if it were a Fanfare Herald of the Age of Aquarius --- we soon realised it was just another tune in the conveyor belt of drudgery that Modern Life has to placate us with. It's so insipidly corny it should be a cereal, but is instead it's left a 'serial' killer of the ears and good emotions. Shame on the human race for this utter atrocity on humankind. We will NEVER learn
