Life is but a happy song
And you're a fool if you don't sing along
Spring is over much too soon
For those who hum a different tune

The big parade passes by your window
There's joy and laughter ringing in the street below
C'mon, c'mon, the big parade is passing
What good is living in a world you'll never know

Days run into weeks and years
And all your hopes and dreams turn into tears
Time can only slip away
So why be foolish with today

The big parade passes by your window
There's joy and laughter ringing in the street below
C'mon, c'mon, the big parade is passing
What good is living in a world you'll never know

Come, and hide your heart no more
You'll find a brand new world outside your door
Life is still a happy song You only have to sing along

The big parade passes by your window
There's joy and laughter ringing in the street below
C'mon, c'mon, the big parade is passing
What good is living in a world you'll never know
