Hey baby
What you know good?
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start gettin' together again?
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said?
What else is new my friend?
Besides what I've read

Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man I just don't understand
What's goin' on across this Land?
Ah, what's happenin' Brother?
Hey, what's happenin'?
What's happenin' my Man?

Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance?
Will our ballclub win the pennant?
Do you think they they have a chance?
And tell me friend
How in the world have you been?
Tell me what's out
'Cause I wanna' know what's in
What's the deal man?
What's happenin'?
What's happenin' Brother?
Ah, what's happenin' Brother?
What's happenin', my man?
Whoo, ah, ah, what's happenin' Brother?
Say man, whoo, what's happenin' Brother?

What's been shakin' up and down the line?
I wanna' know, 'cause I'm slightly behind the times
