Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain goes, disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
That's how this refrain goes
So come on, join in, everybody

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay

That's how this refrain goes
So come on, join in everybody
