[Verse 1]
Maybe at the next crosswalk
We will not walk, instead we’ll all start skipping and jumping
And maybe in this whole New York
A little act of happiness can still mean something

[Chorus]
Hey hey, go ahead
Throw away what went before
You’ll say, in my head
There’s no reason to be bored
Hey hey, break the springs
Shake a leg and spread your wings
Hey hey, many things
Everything and anything

Sometimes we’re lost, sometimes we’re tossed
Like laundry in the dryer
I’ll help you up, you help me up
And we will both be higher than yesterday

[Verse 2]
If only we could seize the chance
And everyday ride the magic rainbow horsey
And hey hey was all we’d say
It ain’t no worse than any other fate you might foresee
[Chorus]
Hey hey, lots of luck
Things don’t really have to suck
Hey hey, pass the buck
Fill her up, start the truck
Hey hey, here we go
No time to take it slow
How high? What behind?
It’s what’s ahead, you never know

Sometimes we’re bruised, sometimes we’re used
Like punching bags and suckers
I’ll help you up, you help me up
And we’ll be better truckers than yesterday

[Verse 3]
And all the fishes in the sea don’t have to swim
They all can take a break and start gloatin’
But all the visions inside me like galaxies
There’s been into space and explodin’

[Chorus]
Hey hey, what the hell
Ain’t it worse to never try?
Hey hey, might as well
Just as dumb to sit and cry
Hey hey, poorly planned
Then you dropped it anyway
So what? take my hand
There’s a life to live today
Sometimes we’re cooked, sometimes we’re hooked
Like chickens on a skewer
I’ll help you up, you help me up
How we will feel less bluer than yesterday

[Outro]
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
