Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking
Till I've spent my wage
When I was young people spoke of immorality
All the things they said were wrong
Are what I want to be
(Hey)
Over under sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round
(Hey)
Over under sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round
When will it end, when will it end
When will it end, when will it end
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
Think I'll go and have some fun
'Cos it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done
Than argued with somebody else
(Hey)
Over under sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round
(Hey)
Over under sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round
When will it end, when will it end
When will it end, when will it end
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Over under sideways down
