Ten years have gone by, in the blink of an eye

Time really seems to fly, when you're in McFly

So thanks for coming here tonight

I hope that we aren't playing shite

And if we are please be polite, or Dougie will cry

I wrote this song so that collectively we could get some perspective

Before we play, and you scream cheer and clap

So please allow me if I may to take you some days far away

And quickly give a brief 10 year recap

In 2001 I attended an audition and became the 4th addition to the Busted 1st edition

After 24 hours, those frick' Busted bastards, kicked me out and told me I was not what the're after

But I'd have done the same if I was in their position, but I'd kecked the one out ith the eyebrow condition

The wasn't the end, no it didn't stop there, in 2003 up in Bolton somewhere

I met someone with talent oozing out of his bones, that's right folks he was called Danny Jones

His skills on the guittar really are quite insane, but what balances his talent is his microscopic brain

He agreed that him and me should write a bunch of songs, so we got a record deal and here's where it goes wrong

We held an audition and two guys came along called Dougie and Harry and that's how McFly was born

Being McFly is pretty awesome, you get to do radical things

Like touring around the world from Madrid to Brazil

Or building schools in Africa for kids that are ill

Yes, every day is different but it's equally thrilling, there's no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring

Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why, it's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y!

Being McFly is pretty wicked but I am just one of four guys

I'm the only who's not been on reality shows, but if I did know I'd be receiving your votes

'Cause I could do the tango with some folks that are famous, or chill out in the jungle eating ostrich's anus

Or there's Big Brother house but I would never go in, 'cause I'd rather sing some opera with Laurence Llewelyn Bowen

Or I could stay home writing songs for One Direction, in search for sing alongable musical perfection and spend an hour admiring my Harry Potter wand collection

Dougie wants to add a joke in here about erection

But it's a family show, so I'm making some corrections

For those penis eating, jungle swingers, ballroom dancing, opera singers

Being McFly is pretty awesome, it's not very hard to see why

It's so awesome being M-C-F-L-Y!

It's been m-otional

C-eems so f-ortless

I'd do it all again for the l of it

Just don't ask me y

It's been m-barrassing

C-eems so f-ing stressful

But overall it's been de lightful

It's hard to y

Every now and then the strangest things go on

Like being on the cover of a gay magazine with no clothes on

But after 10 years of it, we just don't give a shit

We will do anything, literally anything

We might even pull our trousers down and wave around our dingalings

Being McFly is pretty awesome, but it's not been the easiest ride

Dougie went to rehab and thank God he came back

I lost loads of weight and now I'm no longer fat

Danny's going bald so he might start wearing hats

We've had our share of tabloid covered exploiting romance

We still don't know if Harry really shagged Lindsay Lohan

Check me out, 'cause I can play piano with one hand

That's how awesome you become if you are in my band

You paid for the ticket so should probably buy a programme

Oh, being McFly is freakin' awesome!

But I am only one of four

The other three are equally as awesome as me

We're just about as awesome as a pop band can be

Our awesomeness is tangible, it's easy to see

Why we're so freaking radical, occasionally magical

Dramatical, fanatical, for us, matter-of-factual

Tactual, fantastical, contractual, we sold out shows!

There's no turning back at all from McFly

M - emotional after 10 years

C - see my eyes are filling with tears

F - it's effortless

L - like elephants!

Y - 'cause we're awesome!

Just like McFly!

M! C! F! L! Y!
