Mr Blue Sky

MR BLUE SKY

The sun is shining in the sky 
There ain’t a cloud in sight, It’s stopped raining 
Every body’s in a play and don’t you know 
It’s so beautiful today, hey! 

Running down the avenue 
See how the sun shines brightly 
in the city on the streets where once was pity 
Mister Blue Sky is living here today! Hey! 

Mister Blue Sky   (Please tell us why) 
You had to hide away for so long 
so long did we go wrong? 

Mister Blue Sky   (Please tell us why) 
You had to hide away for so long 
so long did we go wrong? 

do do do do do do do do do do do do 
do do do do do do do do do do do do 
do do do do do do do do do do do do 
do do do do do do 

Hey you with the pretty face, 
Welcome to the human race, we’re celebrating, 
Mister Blue Sky’s up there waiting and today 
is the day we’ve waited for, Aw! 

Mister Blue Sky   (Please tell us why) 
You had to hide away for so long 
so long did we go wrong? 

Hey there Mister Blue 
We’re so pleased to be with you 
Look around see what you do 
Everybody smiles at you 

Mister Blue Sky 
Mister Blue Sky 
Mister Blue Sky Y 
Mister Blue you did it right, 
But soon comes Mister Night, creeping over 
now his hand is on your shoulder never mind,
 I’ll remember you this 
I’ll remember you this way, 

Mister Blue Sky   (Please tell us why) 
You had to hide away for so long 
so long did we go wrong? 

Hey there Mister Blue 
We’re so pleased to be with you 
Look around see what you do 
Everybody smiles at you 

da da da da da da da da da da da da 
da da da da da da da da 
da da da da da da da da da da da da 
da da da da da da da da 

Ah Ah  Ah Ah ooh ooh 
Ooh Ah Ah Mister Blue Sky

Lean On Me

LEAN ON ME

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, 

The YV, The YV,

Everybody’s talking ‘bout The YV,

Brothers and sisters together in song, 

Showing all the people how we get along, 

We gotta get everybody to sing, 

Gettin’ in the groove and doing our thing now, 

So when you need that helping hand, 

Someone to listen and understand, just Lean.

Lean on me when you’re not strong, 

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, 

For, it won’t be long, Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow 

But, if we are wise we know that there’s always tomorrow, 

Lean on me when you’re not strong, 

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, 

For, it won’t be long, Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow 

For noone can fill those of your needs that you won’t let show 

Lean on me when you’re not strong, 

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, 

For, it won’t be long, Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand 

We all need somebody to lean on. 

I just might have a problem that you’ll understand 

We all need somebody to lean on 

Lean on me when you’re not strong, 

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, 

For, it won’t be long, Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

(Rap)

The YV, The YV

Everybody’s talking ‘bout The YV, Make it funky, make it funky

Brothers and sisters together in song, 

showing all the people how we get along, Make it funky, make it funky

We gotta get everybody to sing, 

Gettin’ in the groove and doing our thing now, Make it funky, make it funky

So when you need that helping hand, 

Someone to listen and understand, Make it funky, make it funky

just Lean.

Just call me, call me, just call me, Whoa you know you gotta 

Call me, call me, just call me, Whoa You know you gotta 

Call on me sister, when you need a hand, 

We all need somebody to lean on, 

I just might have a problem that you’ll understand 

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you’re not strong, 

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, 

For, it won’t be long, Till I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.

Gonna need somebody to lean on

Need somebody to lean on.
