Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go along bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Cuz happy days are here again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again!
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again!
