You can stretch right up and touch the sky

You got women, you got women on your mind
+
Have a drink, have a drive
+
Go out and see what you can find
+
If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
+
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel
+
Speed along the lane
+
Do a down, or a joint, or 25*
+
When the sun goes down
+
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by
+
We're not grey people
+
We're not dirty, we're not mean
+
We love everybody but we do as we please
+
When the weather's fine
+
We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
+
We're always happy

Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy
