Happy Days

The face of a nation was split with a smile today

As we were politely informed of the fun and games

Oh yeah, there's a ship on our sea, shall we send it down?

It's only a toy in the tub, shall we sink it now?

Light up the home fires, run up the flags

Happy days are here again

Just like the old days, riches to rags

Happy people don't complain

Now, ask your leaders for their reasons

Why is blue the colour of the season?

Ask your father, ask your mother

Better still don't breathe a word at all

Now, ask your leaders for their reasons

Why is blue the colour of the season?

Ask your father, ask your mother

Better still don't breathe a word at all

The voice of a nation has spelt it all out for you

It's there on the page and the screen, so it must be true

It's perfectly simple, it's perfectly understood

Three cheers for the church and the state, and the boys in blue

Light up the home fires, run up the flags

Happy days are here again

Just like the old days, riches to rags

Happy people don't complain

Light up the home fires, run up the flags

Happy days are here again

Just like the old days, riches to rags

Happy people don't complain

Now, ask your leaders for their reasons

Why is blue the colour of the season?

Ask your father, ask your mother

Better still don't breathe a word at all

Now, ask your leaders for their reasons

Why is blue the colour of the season?

Ask your father, ask your mother

Better still don't breathe a word at all

Now, ask your leaders for their reasons

Why is blue the colour of the season?

Ask your father, ask your mother

Better still don't breathe a word at all

At all
