Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

La, la, la, oh

She swept the road with the greatest of ease
Ridding the pavement of all litter and leaves
And she smiled at the blustery day
But she knew that things would always be this way
Sweep away, sweep away if only just to keep away
The world from your doorstep for just another day
Time will only tell if you kept your history well
Or did you weigh your past around you
Like a leper with his bell, 'cause

History hovels on crooked cobbles
His crutches can't carry his crippled frame
His sermon will falter from every altar
Then fall to earth like frozen rain

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
La, la, la
