Good morning world, it's a brand new day 
I'm packing my bags and I'm going away 
I'm moving my legs and my city type bones 
I gotta get away from the busy man's phones

Down in Malibu where the living is so wild and free 
If you want to get happy then people come along with me 
A fee fa fou fafafafa fouu 

Run along boy, save a place for me 
I'm getting so tired of the company 
I'm getting black looks from the big white man 
I gotta get away just as fast as I can 

Good morning freedom 
Gotta break away 
Gotta break away 
Gotta break away 
Good morning freedom 
It's another day 
It's another day 
It's another day 
Good morning freedom 
A fee fa fou fafafafa fouu 

All over the world it's the same old game 
Official type living is the thing to blame 
Loving thy neighbour is a real live thing
There's only one way to get the people to sing
