Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody just crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down (Crying out, calm down)
Have your pomps and your pride (Calm down, calm down)
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down (Calm down, calm down)
Have your pomps and pride (Calm down, calm down)
[Verse 2]
Everybody just crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down (Crying out, calm down)
Have your pomps and pride (Calm down, calm down)
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down (Calm down, calm down)
Have your pomps and pride (Calm down)
[Verse 3]
For today, today
Today is a happy day
And tonight, tonight
Can be a clever night
[Verse 4]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do!

And everybody was crying, crying, sighing, sighing (Crying out, crying out)
Dying to see the light (Calm down, calm down)
And when they see it, they say it's not bright (Calm down, calm down)
Can this be right? (Calm down, calm down)

Everybody just calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down (Calm down, calm down)
Have your pomps and your pride (Calm down, calm down)
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down (Calm down, calm down)

For today, today
Today is a happy day
For tonight, tonight
Can be a happy night, yeah
