[Pre-Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, climbing, louder every line]
Left the little box by the ketchup and the tray
I put it in my pocket and I took it away

[Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, belted, full chest]
Ask me twice and I'll say it louder
Shout it from the cliffs till the whole town's prouder
Once was a mess and the second's the power
Ask me twice and I'll say it louder

[Verse 2: Jubilant Irish female lead, jubilant, building]
A month of him dodging me down at the quay
Hiding in the pub when he caught sight of me
I wore the ring on a chain round my neck
Under my jumper where nobody'd check
Sunday came and I borrowed a bike
Up the cliff road in the wind like a spike
Knocked on his door with my hair in a knot
Ring in my hand and my heart going hot

[Bridge: Jubilant Irish female lead, ring box snap, the orchestra stops on the snap of the box in her hand, a breath of nothing, then everything floods in]
He opened the door in his socks and his shame
I held up the box and I said his name
You asked me once and you did it wrong
So I'm asking you now, and I've waited long

[Verse 3: Jubilant Irish female lead, full force, joyful]
He laughed so hard that he fell on the step
Said yes to the sky and the sea and the rest
Neighbors on the hill came out to see
Granny at the window shouting about me
Down to the chip shop that very same night
Same queue, same fryer, same terrible light
Whole shop cheering by the battered cod
Asked it twice and we sealed it with a nod

[Outro: Jubilant Irish female lead, the orchestra rings out over the cliffs]
Yes
Yes
Louder

[End]

[Verse 1: Jubilant Irish female lead, big and bright, full voice from the first word] Friday in the chip shop and the queue to the door Salt on the counter and the rain on the floor He went down on one knee by the battered cod Vinegar on his sleeve and a face like a god Ring in a box from his granny's old drawer Whole shop staring and the fryer's roar I said not here, love, ask me right He went white as a sheet and he ran out of sight [Pre-Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, climbing, louder every line] Left the little box by the ketchup and the tray I put it in my pocket and I took it away [Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, belted, full chest] Ask me twice and I'll say it louder Shout it from the cliffs till the whole town's prouder Once was a mess and the second's the power Ask me twice and I'll say it louder [Verse 2: Jubilant Irish female lead, jubilant, building] A month of him dodging me down at the quay Hiding in the pub when he caught sight of me I wore the ring on a chain round my neck Under my jumper where nobody'd check Sunday came and I borrowed a bike Up the cliff road in the wind like a spike Knocked on his door with my hair in a knot Ring in my hand and my heart going hot [Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, belted, full chest] Ask me twice and I'll say it louder Shout it from the cliffs till the whole town's prouder Once was a mess and the second's the power Ask me twice and I'll say it louder [Bridge: Jubilant Irish female lead, ring box snap, the orchestra stops on the snap of the box in her hand, a breath of nothing, then everything floods in] He opened the door in his socks and his shame I held up the box and I said his name You asked me once and you did it wrong So I'm asking you now, and I've waited long [Verse 3: Jubilant Irish female lead, full force, joyful] He laughed so hard that he fell on the step Said yes to the sky and the sea and the rest Neighbors on the hill came out to see Granny at the window shouting about me Down to the chip shop that very same night Same queue, same fryer, same terrible light Whole shop cheering by the battered cod Asked it twice and we sealed it with a nod [Chorus: Jubilant Irish female lead, belted, full chest] Ask me twice and I'll say it louder Shout it from the cliffs till the whole town's prouder Once was a mess and the second's the power Ask me twice and I'll say it louder [Outro: Jubilant Irish female lead, the orchestra rings out over the cliffs] Yes Yes Louder [End]
