The Salvation Army band played And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
all day
But through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away,
away
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-ah
Up in the northern sky, hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
He sat on stony ground He took a cigarette out
Everyone else came down Hey, listen
It was the winter of 1963 He thought that the world would freeze
But John F. Kennedy and the Beatles,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-ah
Up in the northern sky, hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-ma-ma-ma, hey-ah
They shook the factory, hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
The evening had turned to rain
So water rolled down the drain As they followed him down
to the station
He would never wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train pulled outside Bye,
bye
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-ah
Up in the northern sky, hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma,
hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-ah
Up in the northern sky,
hey-ma-ma-ma-ma Hey-oh,
ma-ma-ma,
hey-ma-ma-ma,
hey-ah
Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
