Mummy says no
Daddy says no
Brother says no
But they all got to go

[Chorus]
'Cause we say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah)

If we didn't go ahead
And thought of all they said
Might as well give up, man
We might as well be dead

[Chorus]

Now were moving to the front, baby
Well sing another song
The older ones, they taught us
they're all dead and gone

[Chorus]

Well aim for the sky
And keep on shooting high
Forget about those problems baby
don't just sit and sigh

[Chorus]

Umm, now mummy says yeah
And daddy says yeah
My brother says yeah
Maybe they're not so square

We all say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We all say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah-yeah)
We say yeah (yeah)
