Don't you know it, don't you know it
Arthur we like you and want to help you
Don't you know it, I hope you know it
Oh, we love you and want to help you
He was young and he had so much ambition
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Oh, we love you and want to help you
(Don't you know it, don't you know it)
Don't you know it, don't you know it
If only life were easy it would be such fun
Arthur we know and we sympathize
Arthur, could be that the world was wrong
And your hope and glory has passed you by
How is your life and your Shangri-La
Don't you know it, don't you know it
Oh, we love you and want to help you
All the way he was overtaken
Somebody loves you, don't you know it
You can cry, cry all night but it won't make it right
And now we see your children
Don't you know it, don't you know it
And your long lost land of Hallelujah
Somebody loves you, don't you know it
Somebody loves you, don't you know it
Arthur we read you and understand you
And a way to improve his own condition
Sailing off in the setting sun
Don't you know it, don't you know it
Don't you know it, don't you know it
Arthur the world's gone and passed you by
We'd like to help you and understand you
Can't you see what the world is doing to ya
Arthur we like you and want to help you
Where there's plenty for everyone
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Somebody loves you, don't you know it
But it won't make it right
Oh, we love you and want to help you
To a new horizon
Oh, we love you and want to help you
By the people who make the big decisions
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Somebody loves you don't you know it
Arthur, could be you were right all along
Somebody loves you, don't you know it
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Though the world was hard and it's ways were set
But he tried and he tried for a better life
Now we know and we sympathize
Things would be more equal and be plenty for everyone
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Arthur the world's gone and passed you by
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Don't you know it, don't you know it
You can cry, cry all night
Oh, we love you and want to help you
Don't you know it, don't you know it
