Request the honor of your presence
The tear gas has blown away
Put down your crumpets and your coffee now
So unfashionably late
Little brother, little sister, underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves, steppin' out to where the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
You'll say I'm actin' like a beggar
Well, I call it killin' the fool
You carry more baggage than a momma's boy
On your first day of school, say
Little brother, little sister, underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves, steppin' out to where the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
Let go of the light of the TV, drop the hands
The chains that bind me, turn it all around
Stop, lift you up 'n die to self (stop)
In a time when the left and the right's the same
When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze
Let's send out the invitations (let's send out the invitations)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
(You say I'm actin' like a beggar)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, let me hear you sing
(I call it killin' the fool)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, and the times are good
(Save your life, you gotta lose it)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, so the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
