Hey Mae Lyrics

Hey Mae, (hey Mae-ae)
Why don't you come on out (let's play-ay)
What do you say, (okay-ay)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day to play...

I asked the weather man
How does the weather stand
He said the sun is gonna shine
I said, mmm, that'll be fine

Hey-ey Mae, (hey Mae-ae)
Why don't you come on out (let's play-ay)
What do you say, (okay-ay)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day to play...

Hey Mae, (hey Mae-ae)
Why don't you come on out (let's play-ay)
What do you say, (okay-ay)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day to play-ay
We'll drink some soda pop
Go to the record hop
Where we can do the bop
Until her body flop

Hey Mae, (hey Mae-ae)
Why don't you come on out (let's play-ay)
What do you say, (okay-ay)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day (Hey)
I say today is a - a good day to play-ay

Hey Mae, hey Mae
Why don't you come on out
Hey Mae, ah let's play
We'll go skating
Hey Mae, ah let's play
Why don't you come on out
And we'll hang about [fade]
