Through the west she won her fame
Being handy with the gun
But she drove the men insane

Oh, how I’d like to be that man, he’s got money to burn
Oh, how I’d like to be that man, he’s got money to burn.

In old Savannah
I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate’s of a southern brand
But here’s what I don`t understand

Who`s colder than an Arctic storm
Happy Days Are Here Again was first featured in the 1930 film Chasing Rainbows. It’s appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, ranging from Broadway Melody of 1938 to What Price Hollywood? to Glee. It may be best known as the theme for Franklin Delano Roosevelt‘s 1932 campaign song.
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again,
It’s a broad way
It’s just a simple plain street
Most stylish avenue
And what it’s just a main street
But it’s home to me and to you …
It’s your Broadway and it’s my Broadway
With the music of rhythm
And the rhythm of music
On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky
Dare any rain drop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today
