There's a place I know where we should go, hey di, hey di, hoh
Won't you take me there your lady fair, hey di, hey di, hoh
There's a brook near-by the grass grows high, hey di, hey di, hoh
Where we both can hide side by side, hey di, hey di, hoh
Hooray, hooray, it's a holi-holiday

There's a country fair not far from there, hey di, hey di, hoh
On a carousel the dingdong bell, hey di, hey di, hoh
On the loop di loop we swing and swoop, hey di, hey di, hoh
And what else we'll do is up to you, hey di, hey di, hoh

In the country side we take a ride, hey di, hey di, hoh
Where the stars will shine lots of time, hey di, hey di, hoh
Back of your old car we might get far, hey di, hey di, hoh
In the summerbreeze we feel at ease, hey di, hey di, hoh

Everytime you listen to Boney M, you think this is their best one, and then you hear another song from them, and then you think, no this is their best one. They are all master pieces.
