Oh, what a perfect day,
To get away from it all,
Wanna run around and play.
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Swinging from the tree,
All the possibilities.
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Live free and play all day with...
You.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Wanna have fun with,
You.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Wanna be young with you.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
(Bis)
If you wanna sing,
Or dance around in the street,
It doesn't bother me.
Oh-oh, oh-oh.
And if you wanna laugh,
Until you cry,
Don't be shy,
Don't try the smiling eyes.
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Live free and play all day with...
You.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Wanna have fun with,
You.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Wanna be young with you.
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Wanna have fun with you.
