[Birds chirping over intro.]
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon.
Really, couldn't get away too soon.
I can't imagine anything that's better.
The world is ours whenever we're together.
There ain't a place I'd like to be,
Instead of movin' down a crowded avenue,
Doin' anything we like to do.
There's always lots of things that we can see.
We can be anyone we'd like to be.
All those happy people we could meet,
Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon.
Really, couldn't get away too soon.
No, no, no, no, no.
ah-ah-ha, ah-ah-ha, ah-ah-ha.
We'll keep on spendin' sunny days this way.
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away.
(Ah-ah-ah.)
I feel it coming closer day by day.
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/UZw2 ]Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly,
Groovin', (reelin' and rollin'),
On a Sunday afternoon.
Really, couldn't get away to soon.
No-no-no, no.
Groovin'. un-huh, uh-huh.
Groovin' ay-ay.
