This world is not our own
We had the knack and we let it go
And now the wind is blowing bold
It blew that car right off the road
What will you pay for your slice of the pie?
If not today then by and by
She'll have her way and there won't be time
To save the day or to scream surprise
You know you're riding on the whirlybird
If you can't take it just say the word
Off into space and you'll never be heard
They'll take your place on the whirlybird
We used to ride, ride away the day
We only cared about playing the game
We knock you down if you get in our way
One time around and you'll forget your fate
You know you're riding on the whirlybird
If you can't take it just say the word
Off into space and you'll never be heard
They'll take your place on the whirlybird
La la la, la la la, la la la, la, a-oh
La la la, la la la, la la la, la, a-oh
Do, do, do do do, do, do do do do do
Do, do, do do do, do, do do do do do
So you're riding on the whirlybird
If you can't take it just say the word
Off into space and you'll never be heard
They'll take your place on the whirlybird
The whirlybird don't care about trees
She'll whirly whirl just as fast as she please
If you hang on you might have a good time
If you let go you'll miss the ride
You know you're riding on the whirlybird
If you can't take it just say the word
Off into space and you'll never be heard
They'll take your place on the whirlybird
Whirly whirly whirly whirl all the time
Whirly whirly whirly bird all the time
Whirl around the whirl around the whirl around the whirl...
