🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • What it all comes down to
  • Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
  • 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
  • And the other one is giving a high five

Sing it again — final chorus

  • What it all comes down to
  • Is that everything's going to be quite alright
  • 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
  • And the other one is flicking a cigarette
finei'vehand
