Lyrics
Early version:--
Well the grass is so green,
On the other side of town.
And the kids are so mean,
When there ain't no one around.
Only nananana
Only nana nanana
'Cause if you're lonely at the top,
you can come back down, to me.
Only nananana
Only nana nanana
And you can tell me, tell me something I don't know.
Yeah tell me, tell me something I don't know.
Yeah tell me, tell me something I don't know.
Make you good, take it slow.
Oh tell me, tell me something I don't know.
What do you think of me now?
Nananana
Nananana afternoon
Nananana
Only nananana
Only nananana
Tell me, tell me something I don't know.
Tell me, tell me something I don't know.
Yeah tell me something I don't..
