Down by the seaside See the boats go sailin' Can the people hear, oh What the little fish are sayin'
Down in the city streets See all the folk go racin' No time left, no-no To pass the time of day
The people turned away The people turned away
Out in the country Hear the people singin' Singin' 'bout their progress Knowin' where they're goin' Oh yeah
The people turned away Yes, the people turned away
Can you still do the twist Do you find you remember things that well Some twistin' every day Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell Yes it is, yes it is Yes it is
Sing loud for the sunshine Pray hard for the rain And show your love for Lady Nature And she will come back again Yes she will
