Hey baby, what'cha 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 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 going on across this land

Ah what's happening brother,

Oh ya, what's happening my man

Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance

Will our ball club win the pennant, 

do you think they have a chance

And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.

Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.

What's the deal man, what's happening

What's happening brother

Ah what's happening brother

What's happening my man

Ah what's happening brother

What's been shaken up and down the line

I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.
