Lyrics

Verse 1
Saw my baby walking down the road
He took me by the hand and said
Hey girl let’s go for a ride
Saw elephants blowing trumpets loud and free
In celebration of the hunters
Beheaded by their greed

Saw the children crying out in fun
While the popcorn belly dancer
Hands out ice-creams in the sun

CHORUS:
Oooh the sun was glowing bright
Yeah the world seemed right

Verse 2
Heard a vicar to his children told
About stray cats in top hats
And streets paved with gold

Heard a child to his mother explain
How dirty rats on door mats and diplomats
All sound the same.

CHORUS:
Oooh sun was glowing bright
Yeah the world seemed right

Bridge

– “Come on let’s go for a ride”

Lead Break



Verse 3
Saw my baby walking down the road
He took me by the hand and said
Hey girl let’s go for a ride

Played some music in a cafe by the sea
The future big and bright
Calling out for you and me

CHORUS:
Oo-ooh yeah
The sun was glowing bright
Yeah the world seemed right
Oooh the sun was glowing bright
The world seemed right
We were singing our song
The world seemed right
Everything was going to be alright
The world seemed right
The world seemed right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
