Full lyrics

Hello, my dear friends! Well, here I am on record at last! And it feels so wonderful to be here with you on my first album!

I'm so happy, ha-ha!

Happy-go-lucky me

I just go my way

Living ev'ry day

I don't worry

Worries don't agree

Things that bother you

Never bother me!

(chorus)

Things that bother you

never bother me!

I'm so happy as pie, Ha Ha!

Livin' in the sunlight!

Lovin' in the moonlight!

Having a wonderful time!

Haven't got a lot! I don't need a lot!

Coffee's only a dime!

Livin' in the sunlight!

Lovin' in the moonlight!

Having a wonderful time!

(end chorus)

Just take it from me!

I'm as just free as any daughter!

I do what I like just when I like and how I love it!

(chorus)

I'm right here to stay

When I'm old and grey!

I'll be right in my prime!

Livin in the sunlight!

Lovin in the moonlight!

Having a wonderful time!

(Chorus)

Hee Hee Hee HEE! Hee Hee Hee hee. Hee Hee Hee HEE Hee Hee hee.

Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee HEE! Hee Hee Hee Huuhh Heu heu heu heu heu heu!

(chorus)

I'm right here to stay

When I'm old and grey

I'll be right in my prime!

Livin' in the sunlight!

Lovin' in the moonlight!

Having a wonderful time!

(end chorus)

Oh, isn't this a lovely band and how swell it is to have them play with me.
