I see the kids running on by
That girl in the summer dress with the sunshine smile
I hear the birds whistling in the trees
It's like they know how I feel

Busy bee watching the world
Sitting at the side of the curb
Busy bee watching the world singing
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Left my home and I flew east over North Sea
Life's just beginning I'm breaking free
On the Nine Streets with the sun on my back
Knock for Ruben
Gonna kill some time on the Herengracht

Busy bee watching the world
Sitting at the side of the curb
Busy bee watching the world singing
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
La la la la la la la la la la

The sun is out so come and get a glimpse
It's here for all of us so come warm your skin
On the Nine Streets soon we'll be back on track
Knock, knock for Ruben
Gonna kill some time on the Herengracht

Busy bee watching the world
Seeing all the boys and the girls
Busy bee haven't you heard
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
(La la la la la la la la la la)
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
(La la la la la la la la la la)
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
Yeah, this is how it feels, this is how it feels
This is how it feels when a good day comes along
This is how it feels, this is how it feels
This is how it feels, this is how it feels
