Look through any window, yeah What do you see? Smiling faces all around, Rushing through the busy town. Where do they go? Moving on their way, Walking down highways and the by-ways Where do they go? Moving on their way, People with their shy ways and their sly ways Oh, you can see the little children all around. Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns, when you Look through any window, yeah, Any time of day See the drivers on the roads Pulling down their heavy loads Where do they go? Moving on their way, Driving down highways and the byways Where do they go? Moving on their way, Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways Oh, you can see the little children all around. Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns, when you Look through any window, yeah, What do you see? Smiling faces all around, Rushing through the busy town. Where do they go? Moving on their way Moving on their way Moving on their way
