The paper boy is working before he goes
lying to the teacher he knows he knows
he didn't and he 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 are way the birds are singing
round are way the sun shines bright
round are way the birds sing for yer
the already know yer

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
cab it to the front as it's called a draw
everybody's knockin at yours once more
ernie bangs the sound
and no one's spoken since half past four

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 you
cos the already know yer
they already know yer
