[Intro]
This next song was written in, um
In 1929
For a movie called Chasing Rainbows
And in 1960 I sang it in the spirit in which it was originally written
In the midst of the depression
Ironically, cynically
And tonight I'd like to sing it with hope
The hope that one day soon
We'll all be able to sing it and mean every word
And that it will accurately describe the way we feel about our country
And the world we live in
[Verse]
So long, sad times
Go 'long, bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy, gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
[Chorus]
Happy days are here again
The skies abovе are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days arе 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
There'll be no more from now on, from now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times, happy nights
Happy days are here again!
