lyrics

I was on a train in the middle of the city
Saw a girl sitting on the floor with her headphones on
She was humming a tune, looking as happy as she could be
Nodding her head and closing her eyes and singing a song
She was singing

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
And the sun broke through the windows
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Now everyone's humming along
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
She got everybody
Singing That Universal Song

I was on a cruise in the middle of the ocean
Sitting alone at a table for two
The band was on a break
Cause the singer, he was late
But the second he got on stage
He started singing that same old tune
He was singing

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
And everyone ran out onto the dance floor
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They were shaking their hips and moving along
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
He got everybody
Singing That Universal Song

I read on the news today that
They made contact with outer space and
A transmission was coming in loud and clear
All the scientists and
Linguists and
Astrophysicists tried to decipher the sounds
That were coming into their ears
But all the heard was

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They started moving their shoulders too
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They all agreed that that's what we should do
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Now everybody in the world's singing
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They got their hands up in the air
Na Na, Na Na Na Na

Now everybody's
Getting along
Cause everybody's
Singing That Universal Song

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
