One morning, an indescribable commotion happened under my window. I know I wasn't asleep, although I was yawning a little, but four and a half billion people were singing outside. I don't believe it, I look, I get out of bed. Everything sounds like Beethoven's Ninth. And I ask them, "People, do you feel like singing?" And they say, "Yes," without hesitation. And I also ask them, "Is it perhaps a very important day?" And they say, "No, you're boring"[Chorus] All the soldiers in the trenches, all the crazy people on the roofs. The captain and crew members are singing out of boredom in the plane. Beauties sing in bathtubs (U la la la la) Rulers with governments in chorus (U la na na) And no one sings on playback. Even though it's the twentieth century. If I were a hippie I'd cut my hair, If I were a gangster I'd tell the boss, If I the fire would burn, if I stopped I would collapse, if I were cold I wouldn't get upset, if I was hunting I would devalue, if I were close I would call, if I were a skunk I would drown. [Chorus] I don't believe it, I get out of bed everything sounds like Beethoven's Ninth. And I ask them, "People, do you feel like singing?" And they say, "Yes, without hesitation"[Chorus] And everyone sings, everyone sings...
