Lyrics
Be Young Be Foolish Be Happy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Be young, be foolish, but be happy
Be young, be foolish, but be happy
Don't let the rain get you down it's a waste of time
Have your fun, live every day in the bright sunshine
It's the same old story all over the world
Girl needs boy and boy needs girl
So be young, be foolish, but be happy
Be young, be foolish, but be happy
Don't let love slip away
Live your life for today
Life is too short to worry about unimportant things
Reach for the sky and touch a star, and then you'll find you dream
Because dreaming alone is a shame indeed
But if you've got love, that's all you'll need
So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl be happy
Be young, be foolish, girl be happy
