happy
oh keep talking happy talk
talking about the things you like to do
you gotta have a dream
cause if you don't have a dream
how you gonna have a dream come true
talk about the moon
floating in the sky
looking like a lilly on a lake
talk about a bird
learning how to fly
making all the music he can make
happy
oh keep talking happy talk
talking about the things you like to do
talk about a star
looking like a toy
peeking through the branches of a tree
talk about a girl
talk about a boy
counting all the ripples on the sea
happy
oh keep talking happy talk
talking about the things you like to do
talk about a boy
saying to the girl
gully baby i'm a lucky cuz
talk about a girl
saying to that boy
you and me are as lucky to be us
happy
oh keep talking happy talk
talking about the things you like to do
happy
keep talking happy talk
