lyrics

Singing in the shower on a Friday afternoon
Bubbles in your mouth, soapy suds are taking you
up to the sky wave goodbye to the doom and gloom

The sky has opened up now let the world invite you in
A chance to raise your glass in the sanctity of gin
And maybe tomorrow, tonight might make you grin

Dancing in the club with a bubble friend or two
Drinking pints of love, soon to wash right down the loo.
Everyone’s dancing, the kids are having a ball

now you’re whistling a different tune
fly fishing on a distant moon
stormy seas and big baboons
your best cruising on the midnight train
and if tomorrow gets in your face
You gotta wash that muggy world away…

…from the fuss and the buzz life seems to be
Walk out with the drones in a world that’s out of key
And think of the times we laugh

Chilling in the yard, at the family bbq
Homemade burgers cooking on a Sunday afternoon
Out in the garden, the sun shines on the lawn

now you’re whistling a different tune
sides splitting in a different booth
spicy cheese and mismatched shoes
Now your cruising on a midnight train
Suns shining when the skies are grey
Are you ever glad to have washed that world away

Na, na, na, na, na, na…etc
