Lyrics[]
- Music's always inside my head
- Yes, all day long, till I go to bed
- I hear the wind through the trees,
- The buzzing of the bees,
- The rumble of the train,
- The pitter-patter of the rain
- Can you hear it?
- I hear music everywhere
- (Wowzer!)
- Everybody, can you hear it?
- (Sha-Pop-POW)
- It's the sound that fills the air
- Yes, I hear music everywhere
- If you listen, you'll hear the sound
- The sound of music is all around
- I hear the birds sing a song
- In the daylight
- Then the frogs and the crickets
- Play the rhythm of the night
- Can you hear it?
- I hear music everywhere
- (Wowzer!)
- Everybody, can you hear it?
- (Sha-Pop-POW)
- It's the sound that fills the air
- Yes, I hear music everywhere
- The wind through the trees.
- The buzzing of the bees.
- The rumble of the train.
- The pitter-patter of the rain.
- Can you hear it?
- I hear music everywhere
- (Wowzer!)
- Everybody, can you hear it?
- (Sha-Pop-POW)
- It's the sound that fills the air
- Yes, I hear music everywhere
