How’s the world been treating you while you have been away And is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Out in the street, people to meet, Yet she has never been so all alone, The faces on the mantelpiece Silently say please come home. Oh yeah, hey hey. How’s the world been treating you while you have been away And is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. She wakes every morning just to go to sleep at night Though her life has gone all wrong she’ll tell you she’s alright. And is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Is life in the metropolis as groovy as they say? Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey. Oh yeah, hey hey.
