it's a happy day
for the water bugs have melt away
not a bird is sitting in its tree
not a he, she, it or me
it's a happy day
letter gate has sprung away
taking all the floods to sea
leaving uncle sam and he
he was an air-force man
flyin' in all the news
she was his only queen
nothing really left to lose
yes, he was an air-force man
flyin' in all the news
she was his only queen
nothing really left to lose
it's a happy day
for the world has come to stay
not a creature sleeps today
the world will not go away

it's a happy day
let us dream and sleep tonight
on the world in its hide
'cause i need top top find
yes, he was an air-force man
flyin' in all the news
she was his only queen
nothin' really left to lose
she was his only girl
she called his pop crackle
he was her only pearl
flying out of tangier sound

it's a happy day
we are here to gather to stay
not a person will keep us away
our life is the greatest today

it's a happy day
this could go on all night
let us bed by bright moonlight
and have a good, good, good night
