(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
What a lovely day, withers on the radio
Birds are out to play, hear them sing in stereo
I can see a rose bloom in my peripheral
Earth between my toes makes me think of how we're finding
Cures to diseases in our driverless cars
We got plans for a trip to maybe settle on mars
We keep building them bridges from shore to shore
And we’re living so much longer than ever before, so tell me
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Why-ay-ay can’t we get along, baby?
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Why-ay-ay can’t we get along?
I hold up my hands, I ain’t always innocent
But I don’t understand fighting for the thrill of it
We try to make it work, harbouring our bitterness
But every time it hurts, makes me think of how we can
Reach out to people from all over the world
And things are getting better for our women and girls
We got skyscrapers built up to the heavens above
We got more people proudly saying love is love, so tell me
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Why-ay-ay can’t we get along, baby?
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Why-ay-ay why can’t we get, why can’t we get along, girl?
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Uuh, can’t we get along, baby?
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
Why can’t we get along?
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
(Du du du du du du du, why-ay-ay, hmm)
