The paper boy is working before he goes
Lying to the teacher he knows he knows
He didn’t & he should’ve
Brought his lines in yesterday
Ernie bangs the sound & the day begins
The letterbox is open & 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 yet
Cos they already know yer
They already know yer

The game is kicking off in around the park
It’s twenty five a side & before its 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 ones spoken since half past four

Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds sing for yet
Cos they already know yer
They already know yer

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 they already know yer
They already know yer
