Hey! Hey! Five-Foot Way!

Hey! Hey! Five-Foot Way!

SALLY

(prologue)
I’m just a simple girl
In a complicated world
Waking up so far away from home

These streets are so peculiar
I don’t know what to do here
Just waiting for the morning sun to rise

The stars up in the skies
Are all I recognise
I watch the world through unfamiliar eyes

ALLAN

(stanza)
Little thing I gotta say
Bout the place I’ve stayed
Since I was only five
There’s nowhere else we
Would rather be
Where the streets, they feel alive
Every corner of the curb
Of our little suburb
Stretching down of every lane
All the pretty girls and guys
Right before your eyes
And everyone they know your name

SENG

(stanza)
If you’re thirsty you can try
A ball of ice
From the uncle down the street
Eh, hello auntie
One bowl of kok kok mee
I buy for you to eat
And maybe if you want
We can watch the wayang
And the Chinese opera show
Or a movie, we can swing
To Capitol Building
Anywhere you want to go

ALLAN

(bridge)
Anything you want to do
You know I can take you
If you only ask me to
Show you everything
Everywhere I’ll bring you
Making all your dreams come true

ALLAN & SENG

(chorus1)
Hey don’t be afraid
Hey you’ll find it’s great
Here in your brand new home
Here you won’t be alone
Living life here by the five foot way

SALLY

(stanza)
Well maybe this street
Is pretty neat
It’s somewhere I could stay

SENG

Don’t worry bout a thing
You’ll fit right in
I’ll make sure you’re okay

SALLY

Let’s go get a bite
Or let’s go shopping
So many things that we could do

ALLAN

Relax slow down
Take a look around
We’ve got time to lose

SALLY

(bridge)
Suddenly the colours shine so brightly
Reds and yellows all around
Even all the sounds of the street delight me
Let’s go take this town

SALLY, ALLAN & SENG

(chorus2)
Hey let’s go and play
Hey all through the day
Here with the people talking
Here with the people rocking
Living life here by the five foot way

(chorus1)
Hey don’t be afraid
Hey you’ll find it’s great
Here in your brand new home
Here you won’t be alone
Living life here by the five foot way
Living life here by the five foot way
Living life here by the five foot way
