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
They’ve got a gal there
A pretty gal there
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
Dolly, hello, Harry, well, hello Louie
It’s so nice to be back home where I belong
You’re looking swell, Manny, I can tell, Danny

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
They’re either too young, or too old
They’re either too gray or too grassy green
The pickings are poor and the crop is lean
What’s good is in the army
What’s left will never harm me
[Verse]
Dozens of girls would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn’t warm up
To one before
