Is it wrong to want to live on your own ? 
No, it's not wrong - but I must know 
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad ? 

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow 
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear 
And don't go home tonight 
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you 
The one that you love and who loves you 
Oh ... 

Is it wrong not to always be glad ? 
No, it's not wrong - but I must add 
How can someone so young 
Sing words so sad ? 


Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow 
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear 
And don't go home tonight 
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you 
The one that you love and who loves you 


Take my hand and off we stride 
Oh, la ... 
You're a girl and I'm a boy 
La ... 
Take my hand and off we stride 
Oh, la ... 
I'm a girl and you're a boy 
La ... 


Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow 
La ... 
Throw your homework onto the fire 
Come out and find the one that you love 
Come out and find the one you love
