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 kill 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 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”
