[Verse 1: The Kinks] Hush little baby don't you cry Soon the sun is going to shine We're going to be free like the birds and the bees Running wild in the big country Got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want, talk if I want Got to be free to say what I want Make what I want and play what I want As free as the birds up in the sky As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies I don't know how but I'm gonna try I've just got to be free [Verse 2: The Kinks] And it won't be long 'cos we're right And they are wrong We've got to get out of this world somehow We've got to be free, we've got to be free now Got to be free to laugh when I want Think what I want and cry if I like Got to be free to do what I want Say what I want and swear if I like As free as the sun and the moon in the sky As free as a flea or a proud bu*terfly I don't know how but I'm gonna try I've just got to be free [Verse 3: The Kinks] Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow We've got to be free, we've got to be free now Got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want and talk if I want Got to be free to say what I want Make what I want and play what I want I've got to be proud and stand up straight And let people see I ain't nobody's slave I've got to be free before it's too late I've just got to be free Got to be free to do what I want Walk if I want, talk if I want
