| Lyrics: | So long sad times Go 'long bad times We are rid of you at last Howdy gay times Cloudy grey times, You are now a thing of the past 'cause Happy Days are here again The skies above are clear again Let us sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again All together shout it out There's no one who can doubt it now So let's tell the world about it now Happy days are here again Your cares and troubles are gone There'll be no more from now on No more sighing, no more crying Clouds of grey have turned to blue Sorrow flying, cares denying All our rosy dreams have come true 'cause Happy Days are here again The skies above are clear again Let us sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again |
