I'm happy to say today
I'm going away to play
I'm going away to play
To laugh and jump and shout
And tumble on a hillside
And sing with birds and wind
The sound, the birds, the wind
Oh, wouldn't you say, "okay"
If I invited you
Oh, wouldn't you say, "okay"
I'll act the host and say,
"Please crack another tube, dear"
I'd play the perfect fool
If it pleased you
Gone is the sad man
Gone into hiding
Here is the glad man
Happy and smiling
Maybe the mad man
Knows where I am
When it's dark outside
No one can hear me
All the children know
They need not fear me
Ah
I'm happy to say today
I'm going away to play
I'm going away to play
To laugh and jump and shout
And tumble on a hillside
And sing with birds and wind
The sound, the birds, the wind
Oh, wouldn't you say, "okay"
If I invited you
Oh, wouldn't you say, "okay"
I'll act the host and say,
"Please crack another tube, dear"
I'd play the perfect fool
If it pleased you
Gone is the sad man
Gone into hiding
Here is the glad man
Happy and smiling
Maybe the mad man
Knows where I am
Gone is the sad man
Gone into hiding
Here is the glad man
Happy and smiling
Maybe the mad man
Knows where I am
Gone is the sad man
Gone into hiding
Here is the glad man
