[Verse 1]

Wave goodbye

Everybody waves goodbye

Climb aboard the train

Turn and wave goodbye again

[Chorus]

Some go north, some go south

Maybe east, some left out

Some are rich, some are poor

But everybody's got to wave

[Verse 2]

Wave goodbye

We're headed for the other side

The sun shines brighter there

And everyone's got golden hair

[Chorus]

They went north, they went south

Maybe east, some left out

Some are rich, some are poor

Some are blessed; some want more

[Verse 3]

Because I'm sick

We're gonna find the ones that left

A boy climbs aboard the train

Never to wave bye again

[Chorus]

They went north, they went south

Maybe east, some left out

Some are rich, some are poor

But everybody's got to wave

[Refrain]

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[Verse 4]

Don't you cry

I made it to the other side

The sun's not brighter here

It only shines on golden hair

[Chorus]

I went north, I went south

Maybe east, some left out

Some are rich, some are poor

But everybody's got to wave

[Refrain]

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
