Oh, what a pedigree, yeah
We're soul brothers to the bone (Ooh wee ooo)
And that four-headed microphone
Five-part harmony, yeah (Five-part harmony, oh)
Travellin' all around the world (World)
Stealing hearts and all the girls (My girl)
Every man's envy (Every man's envy)
Yeah (Ooh)

Music is our crown (Ooh)
Nothing like the sound
Of our voices together, yeah (Together)
We're still goin' strong
Sixty years and going on forever (Ah, yeah)
