Arkells - Hey Kids!

[Verse 1]
Heads popped up
The loud speaker blare
A thousand different men
The same feeling shared
Eyes were all blurry
From sleepless nights
It was all adding up
This must be a sign
His shoulders were sore
Just like he was told
Something about
"You reap what you sow"
He digs up the past
Every time he comes home
Hearing his mom
Talk to his aunt on the phone

[Chorus]
Is destiny calling my name?
Is destiny calling my name?
Yeah!
Michael, Michel, Mikel
Put a label on ya
England, France

Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Work it out
[Verse 2]
I like a good story
Much as the next guy
I like a tear jerker
That makes me cry
But you're scaring the kids
And it's passed bedtime
You're putting ideas
Into their curious minds!
Never again!
Is what we all said
Never again!
Oh we'll all end up dead
Your tall tales
They follow and surround me
When all I ever wanted
Was your arms around me

[Chorus 2]
Is destiny calling my name?
Is destiny calling my name?
Oh!
Mary, Maria
Molly be adventurous

Don't forget the Irish
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
You're just a girl like the rest of us
Michael, Michelle, Miquelle
Put a label on ya
England, France
This is Scandinavia
Mary, Maria
Molly be adventurous
Don't forget the Irish
Please don't forget the Irish!

[Outro]
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
Hey kids!
You're so precious
You're just a girl like the rest of us
You're just a boy like the rest of us
Yeah!
