The word is about, there's something evolving, Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving... They say the next big thing is here, That the revolution's near, But to me it seems quite clear That's it's all just a little bit of history repeating. The newspapers shout a new style is growing, But it don't know if it's coming or going, There is fashion, there is fad Some is good, some is bad And the joke rather sad, That it's all just a little bit of History repeating. And I've seen it before And I'll see it again Yes I've seen it before Just little bits of history repeating Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing, Why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging Life's for us to enjoy Woman, man, girl and boy, Feel the pain, feel the joy Aside set the little bits of history repeating Just little bits of history repeating And I've seen it before And I'l see it again Yes I've seen it before Just little bits of history repeating
