I was walking down the street
|
Looking like a million dollars
|
With a pretty person on my arm
|
When someone started shouting
|
They were hooting and a hollering
|
They were saying I should
|
Never have been born
|
|
I said baby you hear that
|
You're listening to the voices of fools
|
I said baby let me tell you
|
What they're trying to do
|
They're trying to make our love
|
A thing of the past
|
But I said a-ha
|
|
There very next day
|
It was early in the morning
|
The sun was shining on my back
|
I was feeling pretty rested
|
The air smelt good
|
And I forgot about
|
The thing in the park
|
|
When they walked up
|
Then they passed me
|
You know I didn't want to turn my head
|
But they started up again
|
And those silly voices rang
|
And the clanging was
|
Too much for my brain
|
But I said a-ha
|
What we've got is the best
|
|
It was Friday I had money
|
I was feeling kind of special
|
I was taking my baby up town
|
The moon was high
|
The stars were bright
|
And there were lots of people in the street
|
|
I held your hand
|
And you kissed me
|
And then all the people started to stare
|
We started a commotion
|
Someone making comments
|
Morals, the state of affairs
|
And I said
|
What we got is the best
|
