After reading and listening to live versions, here's my take, which I tried to put into the main lyric field, but it doesn't seem to stick.
Everybody just
Cryin' out (cryin' out)
Come down (come down)
off your pomps and your pride.
Come down (come down)
Come down (come down)
Off your pomps and pride.
Everybody just
Cryin' out (cryin' out)
Come down (come down)
off your pomps and pride.
Easily an' a happily, nicely an' come down
off your pomps and pride
For today, today, today is a happy day
For tonight tonight, can be a better night!
Do re mi fah so la te do...
Everybody's just cryin' cryin'
Sighing sighing
Dying to see the light.
And when they see it, they say it not bright.
Can this be right?
