Lyrics
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street
Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold on to is a simple song and dance
And we say
Ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya
Sing a simple song
Try a little love
Maybe find somebody too
I'm living in a lonely life
Just wanna talk it out now now
I hear the music, it makes me feel good inside
You'll be troubled when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while
And we say
Ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking
I'm living, living, living, loving
I hear the music, it makes me feel good inside
Everybody stay together
Ya, ya ya ya ya
Singing in the summer
Ya, ya ya ya ya
Sing it with your mama, sing it, sing it mama
Ya, ya, ya, get on with that
Sing it with your sister, sing it, sing it sister
Ya, ya, ya, get on with that
Sing it with your brother, sing it, sing it brother
Ha ha, hey, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Sing it with your papa, sing it, sing it with your
Ya, ya, ya, get on with that
You'll be troubled when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while
And we say
Ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya
Sing it with your papa, sing it, sing it mama
Ya, ya, ya, get on with that
You'll be troubled when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while, hey
Ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya
Singing in the summer, ya, ya ya ya ya, ya, ya ya ya ya
Sing it with your mama, sing it, sing it mama
