[Intro – Bouncy bass riff, playful vintage organ, finger snaps] [Female voice, casually humming] La-di-da, la-di-da Hmm-mm, da-di-da! [Sudden drum fill – Full groove kicks in] [Verse 1 – Playful, light, conversational delivery] I’m a little cloud up in the blue Got no plans and nothing to do The wind takes me wherever it goes And I don’t mind, nobody knows [Short organ riff – Bass answers with a funky lick] [Verse 2 – More rhythmic, slightly mischievous] Then I see them drifting by A hundred clouds across the sky They look like they’re having fun Maybe I’ll go and join the bunch [Brief stop – One handclap] [Chorus – Bright, punchy, irresistible groove] Hey, wait up, I’m coming too Got a little room for someone new? I like my freedom, I like my space But I wouldn’t mind a friendly face [Post-Chorus – Playful call and response] [Lead] La-di-da-di-la! [Backing vocals] Da-di-da-di-day! [Lead] Hey, where are you going? [Backing vocals] Floating away! [Instrumental Break – Quirky clavinet solo, bouncing bass, bright brass stabs, handclaps, unexpected rhythmic stops] [Verse 3 – Playful spoken-sung delivery] One looks like a sailing boat One’s got a hat and a fancy coat One turns around and winks at me Well, that’s the kind of crowd for me! [Bridge – Drums drop out, dreamy organ and soft bass] No strings attached, no place to stay We can always drift away And if the wind should change its mind We’ll see what else there is to find [Sudden full-band return – Drum fill, brass accents] [Final Chorus – Joyful, full harmonies, clapping] Hey, wait up, I’m coming too There’s so much sky for me and you No need to follow, no need to lead Just floating where we want to be [Outro – Overlapping playful vocals, instruments answering each other] [Lead] La-di-da-di-la! [Backing] La-di-da-di-day! [Lead] Which way now? [Backing] Any way! [Instrumental outro – Funky bass, organ, handclaps, cheeky brass ending]
