Dotto! Things will be better.
And I know, things will be better.
Alfano, things will be better
And I know things will be better
And a movie has begun
And a new day has begun
And a nudist has begun
And a new day has begun
And, Dido, things will be better
And I know things will be better
Blazin' skis
Plans and schemes
Chico, don't be disco rage
Chico, don't be discouraged
Chico, if you drive now
Chico, if you try now
Come Orlando for a Diana, get us some jelly
Caminando por la calle de Los Angeles

Yes they will for cheaper than the man
And I know things will be better
Oh, yes they will for Chico and the Man
Yes they will for Chico and the Man
I died, oh things will be better
And I know things will be better

You can see the morning sun if you shine
You can see the morning sun if you try
