[Verse 1]
The paper boy is working before he goes
Lying to the teacher who knows he knows
He didn't and he should've brought his lines in yesterday
And Ernie bangs the sound as the day begins
The letterbox is open, your cash falls in
I'll meet you at the office just before the staff clock in

[Chorus]
Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds sing for ya
'Cause they already know ya
They already know ya

[Verse 2]
A gamе is kicking off in around the park
It's twenty five a sidе but before it's dark
There's gonna be a loser and you know the next goal wins, ah
We cab it to the front and it's called a draw
Everybody's knocking at yours once more
Ernie bangs the sound but no one's spoken since half past four
La, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus]
Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way, well, the birds sing for ya
'Cause they already know ya
They already know ya

[Harmonica Solo]
La, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus]
Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds are minging
Round are way it's alright
Round are way the birds sing for ya
'Cause they already know ya
They already know ya

[Verse 3]
Hey, you, up in the sky
Learning to fly, tell me how high
Hey, you, up in your tree
D'you wanna be me, well, that couldn't be
I said hey, you, wearing your crown
You're making no sound, I heard you feel down
Hey, you, stealing the lines
I heard that the shine's gone out of your life

[Outro]
Cheers!
