Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again,
Altogether shout it now
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
They’re be no more from now on
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again,
So long sad time, so long bad time
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times, cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again,
Altogether shout it now
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
They’re be no more from now on
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again,
Happy days are here again,
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
