Sing It Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Rivers Edge is open in Pandy tonight I bring you in, and they wave you right through There’s a plate of Sunday roast waiting And somebody’s already singing off-key You laugh like you’ve been here for years Though I know you just got here The locals know every chorus And I’m learning the loud parts from you [Chorus] Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh Hey-ya, oh-oh, hey! Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh Sing it again, sing it again! [Verse 2] That roast is the reason the Sunday crowd gathers They tell you it’s popular; you see why in a bite I’m guarding the last roast potato You’re negotiating like we’re signing a treaty The table beside us has harmonies The next one has a man who sings every line twice Then the whole place joins in And your grin gives you away [Verse 3] There’s a holiday park attached to the pub You ask me what sort of guests stay there I say, “The fun kind, mostly,” and leave it at that One wears a bathrobe like formal attire One has named every duck in the park One claims their suitcase is learning to whistle They wander in smiling, peculiar and game And soon they’re singing with you [Bridge] I’ve seen a stranger lead the chorus With a spoon for a conductor’s baton You keep time with your hands I lose it, then find it again The roast keeps disappearing The singing gets wonderfully wrong Nobody minds who knows the words Nobody minds who doesn’t [Chorus] Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh Hey-ya, oh-oh, hey! Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh Sing it again, sing it again! [Outro] Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh Hey-ya, oh-oh, hey! Oh-oh, hey-ya, oh-oh
