Hijinx
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just found out
It's been too long now
The word is out
Time before didn't they take us hook and punker?
Their "jive alive" lines
They were funk
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
We all know better but we just might

Pullin' this off it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'
Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah

You never know, behind the lines
Who's gonna show
Scandal high's been buzzin' through the mayhem
Tonight the word, we heard is
It might be them.
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
They all know better, but we just might

Pullin' this off, it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'

Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah, yeah




Who's who?
Who's who?
