# Hanging around, hanging around # What a lovely way to spend the day # Hanging around, just hanging around # Just watching the world go by # Not a worry, not a care # You can't be down when you're up in the air # Just hanging around, hanging around # Waiting for the sun to go down # Hanging around, hanging around # Underneath a shady tree # Hanging around, hanging around # With good friends for company # What's the hurry? What's the rush? # Why not take it easy like us # Just hanging around, hanging around # Waiting for the sun to go down # And when the sun goes down and the darkness spreads # It's time to lift those furry heads and fly # Flying fox fly # Silken wings in silent flight # Shadowy shapes against the night # Eat your fill of fruit and then # When the daylight comes you'll be back again # Just hanging around, hanging around # Relax, it's so good for you # Hanging around, hanging around # Looking at things from a different view # You know it's funny but we've found # The world looks better when it's upside down # Just hanging around, hanging around # Waiting for the sun to go down # Looking at it upside down # Waiting for the sun to go down. #
