Текст песни Celebrate (The Day After You) - Curtis Mayfield , The Blow Monkeys

Well now, everybody says this country's in a mess
And there soon will come a day
When she's making plans to stay
Plans to stay

And it doesn't mean a thing
If you can't make it sing
There's no need to destroy
You know that power comes from unity

We're gonna celebrate
We're gonna celebrate, people
We're gonna celebrate
Cos this party's overdue
And it's the day after you

Everybody says that this country's in a mess
We're waiting for the day
When she's making plans to stay
Plans to stay

Well now, I have never met a soul
From the very young to the very old
Who hasn't got a story
And it's time their story was told

If you're laughing in the face
Of love and happiness
Taking money, losing hope
Then I'm sorry, but the joke's on you

We, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna celebrate, baby
Cos this party's overdue
And it's the day after you

We're gonna celebrate, baby
(We're gonna celebrate)
Come on now, celebrate
(We're gonna celebrate
We're gonna celebrate)

When you're not around
We're gonna celebrate now
It ain't too late
Come on, let's celebrate now
Got to fight together, people
We're gonna celebrate
The day after you

(It doesn't mean a thing
If you can't make it sing
Funky)

Monkey gets funky!
