Say everybody
And everyone
We’ve been waitin’, so very long
To play some music
And have some fun

Bring some happiness to everyone
Well come with us and try and learn
What’s on your mind
Open your ears and eyes and let’s see what you can find
You’re not so different, I don’t mean to be unkind
Something’s unfolding if you really take the time

So let the sun shine
It’s just begun
You’ve given all you could to anyone
Well don’t you lose it
Don’t run away
It’s getting stronger, day after day

You’re sittin’ there, you say you’re
Waiting for the show
And what you have, and what you
Hear is what you really want to know
You’ve only come here ’cause here’s
Nowhere else to go
We’re only sorry, that we have
To end the show.

Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Yeah
