Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
Sing it
Though my shoes are thin
Lord lord
And my coat isn’t hangin’ down
Lord lord
But this song is mine
So’s this old guitar

If you’ve been down the end of time
You’ll have seen my face before
Ha!
Though I ain’t had a meal in days
Cuz as soon as I start to play
You know it’s just for you
Cause I love it here
In this square waiting
Waiting for the people to come
Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
Sing it
Though my shoes are thin
Lord lord
And my coat isn’t hangin’ down
Lord lord
But this song is mine
So’s this old guitar

Oooh I spend my life by the river side
Unless somebody takes me in
If they do or they don’t
It’s all the same

I live the life I do
Living and singing for free
Cause I love it here
In this square
Waiting for the people to come

Come on
Come on
Oh come on
Come on
Everybody
Everybody
Sing it
Sing it
Come on
Come on

Everybody, everybody, sing it
(Sing it)
Though my shoes are thin
(Lord lord)
And my coat isn’t hangin’ down
(Lord lord)
But this song is mine
So’s this old guitar
All right I said come on!
