[Intro] [brass stabs, wah-guitar, driving funk drums] [Chorus] [baritone male vocals with choir backing] Heroes, heroes Right on doing good in the neighborhood Heroes, heroes Grooving just the way they should [Verse 1] [bass guitar octave jumps] Putting out fires in the wild, oh yeah Helping granny cross with style, oh yeah Picking up trash from the ground, dig that Sweeping the streets all around Now that's fab [Chorus] [brass flourishes] Heroes, heroes Right on doing good in the neighborhood Heroes, heroes Grooving just the way they should [Verse 2] Giving their bus seat with a smile, oo-wee Sharpening pencils for the whole class, see Pushing a cart for old Mr. Lou Ain't no cape but they come through [Bridge] [percussion breakdown, handclaps] Can you dig it? (Yes we can) Lend a hand? (Yes we can) Boogie down, why I'm helping out That's what being kind's about [Verse 3] [glockenspiel accents] Catching that lid on the run Picking up crayons one by one Cheering up a pal who's blue Hey now, that's what heroes do [Chorus] [full brass section, energetic drums] Heroes, heroes Right on doing good in the neighborhood Heroes, heroes Grooving just the way they should [Outro] [brass stabs] They ain't flashy, they just care Little boots with big love to share No spotlight, just that helper flare Every block, a little hero's there Heroes, heroes Right on, they got that boogie heart Heroes, heroes Helping out, that super smart [final brass chord, cymbal crash]
