Life in a Northern Town
go ga go (×4)
go go go go
the salvation army band played
and the children drank lemonade
and the mornin' lasted all day
all day
all day
and through the open window came
like Sinatra in a younger day
pushing the town away
away
away
hey-oh ma mamba
then in the night came
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
they sat on a stony ground
he took a cigarette out
everyone else came down to listen
it was the winter of '63
we felt like the world was free
with john f kennedy and the beetles
(chorus ×2)
the evening had turned to rain
watch the water roll down the drain
as they followed him down to the station
and he would never wave goodbye
you could see it in his eyes
as the train rolled out of sight
right by
hey-oh ma mamba
then in the night came
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
(take it easy on yourself)
hey-oh ma mamba
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
go go go go
the salvation army band played
and the children drank lemonade
and the mornin' lasted all day
all day
all day
and through the open window came
like Sinatra in a younger day
pushing the town away
away
away
hey-oh ma mamba
then in the night came
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
they sat on a stony ground
he took a cigarette out
everyone else came down to listen
it was the winter of '63
we felt like the world was free
with john f kennedy and the beetles
(chorus ×2)
the evening had turned to rain
watch the water roll down the drain
as they followed him down to the station
and he would never wave goodbye
you could see it in his eyes
as the train rolled out of sight
right by
hey-oh ma mamba
then in the night came
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
(take it easy on yourself)
hey-oh ma mamba
hey-oh ma mamba heeyyya
life in a northern town
hey-oh ma mamba
