Oh-Oh
Hey hey oh-oh
Oh-oh

I said, "Hey boy,
sitting in your tree
Mummy always wants
you to come for tea
(Oh-oh)
Don't be shy,
straighten up your tie
Get down from your
treehouse in the sky
(oh-oh)
I wanna know just
what to do
Is it very big, is there
room for two?
(Oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours"

(Bridge)
Gotta let me in
Hey hey hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm a wolf today
Hey hey hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff,
I'll blow you away

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Do you play with the girls,
play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely
playing with your toys?
(oh-oh)
We can talk, we can sing,
I'll be the queen and you'll
be the king
(oh-oh)

Hey boy, in your tree
Throw down your ladder,
make a room for me
(oh-oh)
I got a house with
windows and doors
I'll show you mine if
you show me yours

(Repeat bridge)

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Ah ah

Hey hey
Na na na ey
Na na na oh
Na na na ey
Hey hey hey hey

Say you will,
say you won't
Say you'll do
what I don't.
Say you will
say the truth
say to me
C'est La Vie
(Repeat)

Na na na ey
Na na na oh
C'est La vie
Na na na ey Hey Hey
C'est La Vie Hey Hey
Hey Hey

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
