The paper boy is working before he goes Lying to the teacher he knows he knows He didn't and should've brought his lines in yesterday Ernie bangs the sound and the day begins The letterbox is open and your cash falls in I'll meet you at the office just before the staff clock in Round our way the birds are singing Round our way the sun shines bright Round our way the birds sing for you Cos they already know you They already know you The game is kicking off in around the park It's twenty five a side and before it's dark There's gonna be a loser and you know the next goal wins We cab it to the front as it's called a draw Everybody's knocking at yours once more Ernie bangs the sound and no one spoken since half past four la la la la la la la~ Round our way the birds are singing Round our way the sun shines bright Round our way the birds sing for you Cos they already know you They already know you La la la la la la Round our way the birds are singing Round our way the sun shines bright Round our way the birds are mingling Round our way and it's alright Round our way the birds sing for you Cos they already know you They already know you Hey you up in the sky Learning to fly Tell me how high Hey you up in your tree You wanna be me But that couldn't be I said hey you wearing your crown You making no sound I heard you feel down Hey you stealing their lights I heard that the shine's Gone out of your mind
