Johnny had to run away

And Charlie he's no problem

Susie's got to get a job

And Stevie's such a funny one



They're just like all the people

Who are born around here

They all just want to get there

With Caroline's suitcase



Robbie talks of Vietnam

But that's not how I know him

Young Christopher is growing up

And Charlotte's always sleeping



They're just like all the people

Who are born around here

They all just want to get there

With Caroline's suitcase



When seagulls fly, we wave good-bye

When seagulls fly, we wave good-bye



Judy, Judy, she's just around the corner

Judy, Judy, she's just around the corner



Paul says he's happy

And Louis lights the fire

Jason talks of far away

And I try to think of everyone



But they're just like all the people

Who are born around here

They all just want to get there

With Caroline's suitcase



Judy, Judy, she's just around the corner

Judy, Judy, she's just around the corner



When seagulls fly, we wave good-bye

We must be on our way
