Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty explained: “‘Over Under Sideways Down’ was about the situation of having a good time – a bit of decadence, really – in the ‘60s. Cars and girls are easy to come by in this day and age, and laughing, drinking, smoking, whatever, till I’ve spent my wages, having fun.”

[Intro]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
[Verse 1]
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking 'til I've spent my wage
When I was young, people spoke of immorality
All the things they said were wrong are what I want to be
[Chorus]
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
[Bridge]
When will it end? (When will it end?)
When will it end? (When will it)
[Break]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
[Verse 2]
I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
Think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
[Chorus]
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
[Bridge]
When will it end? (When will it end?)
When will it end? (When will it)
[Break]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
[Chorus]
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
[Outro]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey...
