Happy Song
Baby's Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books, they are everywhere
Come on boys, we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
REFRAIN:
Everybody, let's go to the gig
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it, sing a happy song
Music sound, dancing in the night
We can get so high
For no reason no don't stop
Now's the time to go to the top
It's a sweet simple happy song
We'll sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody, let's go to the gig
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it, sing a happy song
It's time to dance, it's time to sing, sing a happy song
(Sing a happy song)
Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing
(Sing a happy song, our song)
Let's go, let's go boys, come with me and sing
We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books, they are everywhere
Come on boys, we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing to me once more
Everybody, let's go to the gig
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it, sing a happy song
(Sing a happy song)
(Sing a happy song, our song)
