Oh, what do you do in - 
By the fountain of youth and enchanted tree
Go away you'll all get frozen, away and put some clothes on

Oh when all the woodland - rejoice
Why don't you unbend and lift your voice
Come and join us sylvian beauty

I strained my epiglottis
Your prisoned soul I pray unbuckles
And with joy you'll gladly chuckle

I never chuck I never buck
Oh come where songbirds gayly twitter
And the butterflies gayly flitter

I never twit I never flit
Away you wanton lasses
And hide your streamlined treses

And yet you are not so sad within
We'll tickle you till you change you tune
Tickle him there and everywhere

Stop! That's one way tickling there
Where? There! Oh!

Hang on to happiness
You've been gone such a long long time
So hang on to happiness
As it soon slips by

Give gloom some elbow room
With a smile light every mile and
Hang on to happiness
Never once say die

Here's something you missed
Over and over again
Life takes a new twist
When you can sing in the rain

Lift up your window blinds
Let the sun teach you how to smile and
Hang on to happiness
For it soon goes by

Happy
Happy
Mortal men
Don't you know
You're the son
Of the great God
