Celebrate (The Day After You)

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

We're gonna celebrate

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
