I'm not tryin' to impress you with my lines
They don't mean nothin' at all
It's just another expression of mine
It don't mean nothin' at all
Mystifying, Oh no
Crystalizing, you know

People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?

There are two sides, a win or loss
What's two down and four across?
Analyzing and implying, you know

People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?
People just love to play with words
People just love to play, haven't you heard?...

Formed in 1978 with Colin Hay, Jerry Speiser, and Ron Strykert (Greg Ham and John Rees later joined the band in the early 1980s)

Had their biggest hit in 1981 with “Down Under”

Performed at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia
