See the kids running on by That girl in the summer dress with the sunshine smile 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 kerb Busy bee watching the world singing “La la la la la la la la” I left my home and I flew east over North Sea Life is just beginning I'm breaking free On the Nine Streets with the sun on my back Knock for Ruben Gonna k** some time on the Herengracht Busy bee watching the world Sitting at the side of the kerb 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” The sun is ours so come and get a glimpse It is 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 k** 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”
