[Verse 1]
You're a kite, you're a bird, you're a yellow balloon.
You got everything going on.
You can fly, you can soar, you can glide to the moon.
No one can bring you down.
[Chorus]
Don't listen to the mean people.
Don't let 'em make you cry.
Don't listen to the mean people.
Just turn your back and say, "goodbye".
If you let them put you down,
They'll turn your smile into a frown,
But I love to see you smile.
Don't listen to the mean people, no, just walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
Walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
[Verse 2]
Now I once knew a girl who was teased all the year.
Other kids made her cry.
So she sang her own song 'til that's all she could hear.
And she turned out just fine.
[Chorus]
Don't listen to the mean people.
Don't let 'em make you cry.
Don't listen to the mean people.
Just turn your back and say, "goodbye".
If you let them put you down,
They'll turn your smile into a frown,
But I love to see you smile.
Don't listen to the mean people, no, just walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
Walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
(Instrumental break)
Don't listen to the mean people.
Don't let 'em make you cry.
Don't listen to the mean people.
Just turn your back (don't listen) and say, "goodbye".
If you let them put you down,
They'll turn your smile into a frown,
But I love to see you smile.
Don't listen to the mean people, no, just walk away.
Just walk away.
Don't listen to the mean (don't listen) people, no, just walk away.
(Don't listen) Just walk away.
Don't ya listen to the mean people, no, just walk away.
Don't ya know you gotta walk?
Don't listen to the mean people, no, just walk away.
Walk, walk, walk away.
