Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days
Saturday, what a day
Rockin' all week with you
This day is ours
Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)
Hello sunshine, goodbye rain
She's wearin' my school ring on a chain
She's my steady, I'm her man
I'm gonna love her all I can
This day is ours
Won't you be mine? (Oh Happy Days)
This day is ours
Oh, please be mine (oh Happy Days)
Gonna cruise her 'round the town
Show everybody what I've found
Rock 'n' roll with all my friends
Hopin' the music never ends
