How Do They Know

Michael Giles

[Verse 1]
When you stop and ask, "Which way do we go?"
And they all say, "Follow me!"
How do they know?

[Verse 2]
So you follow on and stumble and fall
And a voice says, "Ah, who's he?"
How do they know? How do they know?

[Chorus]
Now you're beginning to realize, the first will not be the last!
Ask them please not to go so fast, 'cause the dust is sucking your eyes!
Dust is sucking your eyes!

[Verse 3]
Tear yourself away and sit for a while
And the band goes marching on
How do they know? How do they know?

[Chorus]
Now you're beginning to realize, the first will not be the last!
Ask them please not to go so fast, 'cause the dust is sucking your eyes!
Dust is sucking your eyes!

[Verse 1 Reprise]
When you stop and ask, "Which way do we go?"
And they all say, "Follow me!"
How do they know?

[Verse 2 Reprise]
So you follow on and stumble and fall
And a voice says, "Ah, who's he?"
How do they know? How do they know?

[Outro]
How do they know? How do they know?

[Spoken word outro: Just George, Part 1]
I know a man and his name is George
George is his name, and a man I know
Know I George, his name and a man?
A man, his name is George and I know
