Every day when you're walking down the street

Everybody that you meetHas an original point of viewAnd I say - Hey! (Hey!)What a wonderful kind of dayIf we could learn to work and playAnd get along with each other

You gotta listen to your heartListen to the beatListen to the rhythmThe rhythm of the streetOpen up your eyesOpen up your earsGet together and make things betterBy working together

It's a simple message and it comes from the heart

Believe in yourself for that's the place to start

And I say - Hey! (Hey!)What a wonderful kind of dayIf we could learn to work and playAnd get along with each other

Hey! What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!
