Something happened to me yesterday
Something I can't speak of right away
Something happened to me, something oh so goody
Something happened to me yesterdayHe don't know if it's right or wrong
Maybe he should tell someone
He's not sure just what it was
Or if it's against the lawSomething
Something very strange I hear you say
You're talking in a most peculiar way
But something really threw me, something oh so goody
Something happened to me yesterdayYesterday...
He don't know just where it's gone
He don't really care at all
No one's sure just what it was
Or the meaning and/or causeWhat kind of joint is this?
Take your partners...
Someone says there's something more to pay
For sins that you committed yesterday
It's really rather drippy but something oh so trippy
Something happened to me yesterdaySomeone's singing loud across the bay
Sitting on a mat about to pray
Isn't half as loony as something oh so groovy
Something happened to me yesterdayWell thank you very much and now I think it's time for us all to go
So from all of us to all of you
Not forgetting the boys in the band and our producer Reg Thorpe
We'd like to say God bless
So if you're out tonight, don't forget, if you're on your bike
Wear white
Evening all...
