Lyrics
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Oh, really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't no place I'd rather be instead of groovin'
Have mercy on a crowded avenue
Don't you know that we doin' oh baby, anything we'd like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can pick anyone we'd like to be
With all those happy people we could meet
Just settin' the groove
Have mercy on a Sunday afternoon, oh, oh, oh
Really, really couldn't get away too soon
Groove with me, baby
Oh, keep on spending sunny days this way
We gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy
You and me endlessly
Oh we groovin', groovin', groovin' baby, on Sunday afternoon
Don't you know that I really, really, really, really couldn't get away too soon
Oh, groove, oh on Sunday afternoon, all day
