Lyrics
Early at the corner, the crates are stacked high Golden fruit are glowing under a wide blue sky She lifts her little megaphone, grins from ear to ear Good news, good news, the sweet stuff is here Come on down, come on down Bring your basket, bring your smile to town Hey, hey, megaphone sunshine Shout it down the street, everything's fine Hey, hey, sweet as can be Pass the good news round to you and me Call it out, I'll call it back Ooh, ooh, nothing we lack Neighbours in their slippers, kids with sticky hands Everybody dancing in their own little bands She hums a tune, the whole street sings along Every little market stall becomes a song Come on down, come on down Bring your basket, bring your smile to town Hey, hey, megaphone sunshine Shout it down the street, everything's fine Hey, hey, sweet as can be Pass the good news round to you and me Call it out, I'll call it back Ooh, ooh, nothing we lack One small voice, one big bright sound Lifting up the whole wide town Say it loud, say it twice Morning tastes like sugar and spice Hey, hey, megaphone sunshine Shout it down the street, everything's fine Hey, hey, sweet as can be Pass the good news round to you and me Call it out, I'll call it back Ooh, ooh, nothing we lack Good news, good news, the sweet stuff is here Hey, hey, megaphone sunshine, loud and clear
