Hear the music everywhere,
Happy faces in the square
It’s a celebration
See the dancing in the street
So come on and tap your feet
It’s a celebration
So get the party started, woah-oh-oh, ‘cause everyone is here
Yeah get the party started woah-oh-oh, there’s such an atmosphere
See the colours in the town
See the flowers and the crown
It’s a celebration
