Ah, ah, ah, ah

Through the airports and train stations
Of the multiplex of nations
All the creatures of creation
All the fishes and crustaceans
To satisfy their sense of station
Through the rules and regulations
I'm just getting by

We're all just trying to get by (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to get by
(We're just trying to get by) (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to survive

All the termites in the sand
All the insects in the land
All the wildlife on the plane
Jungle plants expecting rain
All play the same game
In the struggle to remain
I'm just getting by

We're all trying to get by (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to get by
(We're all just trying to get by) (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to survive

Trying to, trying to
Trying to survive

We're all just trying to get by (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to survive
(We're just trying to survive) (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to get by
(Trying to get by) (ooh ooh)
We're all just trying to survive
