Work so hard, work so hard
Down the road, Mary, let me go
I need a friend, Mary, let me in

Mary, Mary
Mary, Mary
Heavy sun

I tell you I know a place, mm
The spirit rising from the ground (From hurt to glory)
Over there, they're singing in the night (Sing in the night)
We gonna, we gonna shake 'em, shake 'em, shake 'em on down (Against the fury)

And you can call your friends (It's an open road)
Tell 'em to come on in (Mary, let me go)
We gonna get together now
And it ain't nobody's business
What we doing under the hеavy sun (Heavy sun)

Somebody say it (Work so hard)
Come on and gеt on outta that seat now (Work so hard)
We gonna roll on down the road (Down the road)
So far we go, yeah (Mary, let me go)

Now you can call your friends (I need a friend)
And tell 'em come on in, oh yeah (Mary, let me in)
And we gonna get together now
Talking about a good time, yeah
Under the heavy sun (Heavy sun)
Look, the younger Rita standing in the stands
Debbie, what's in her hand? (So hypnotizing)
She said, "Come on," to the shaggy boy (She drew me near)
'Cause there ain't no turning back (Said, "Have no fear")

And you can call your friends
She told me, to tell 'em
To check their egos at the door, oh, yeah (Check your egos at the door)
'Cause everything is jumping over here now (Mary, Mary)

Talking about a good time, yeah (Mary, Mary)
Somebody dancing (Lighten up that load)
Somebody romancing (Feel it in your soul)
They'll be singing in the night

(Break down the door) We gonna shake 'em on down
(Hold me back no more) We gotta break down the door
(No turning back) Don't let it, don't let it hold you no more
Come on we rolling down the road
(It's an open road) Can't hold us no more

(With joy untold) Yeah, there's somebody dancing, mm
And somebody romancing
Nothing but a joy, peace, love (Heavy sun)
Plenty, plenty, plenty, plenty happiness (Heavy sun)
Under the heavy sun (Heavy sun)
