La la la la la la la la la
oompah oompah oompah oompah oompah
I wish I was bicycle riding with
Lily of the long red hair
Riding and laughing and seeing the city
Feeling so glad to be living again,
telling her gently that I
driving away all her sorrow
and loving her long red hair.
Cos Lily is just like a lily,
is just like a red, red rose.
Lily rode by and she called me
and asked me if I would like to go.
I said that I had to study this morning
and the answer must be no.
I watched from the window
Thinking about Lily's sorrow
and loving her long red hair
Cos Lily is just like a lily,
is just like a red, red rose
Oh, Lily is just like a lily,
is just like a red, red rose
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
when you're thinking of Lily
You'll be telling her gently
Driving away all her sorrow
and loving her long red hair
Driving away Lily's sorrow
and loving her long red hair
Cos a lily is just like a lily
is just like a red, red rose
A lily is just like a lily
