A-R, A-R, A-R, A-R...
I was there when the little kids rode to and there
A-R, A-R, A-
Dancing around in a circle doing their snake dance
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
I had a jacket from the back of the box
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A warrior and a hunter were my only friends
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I want to be a civilized man
But knowing this ain't enough
To show me how I hang
I want to be a civilized man
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
Fishing along the Samoan River
Smoking driftwood
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I was there when the little kids
Went to school
And the kids who were two in there
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya, hey
