Happy Happy Song

Gather round children
We're starting a school

School? What's that?

Well, it's a wonderful place where you
Study things which are cool

Study? What's that?

Hmmmm! You learn new songs
And you have a whole lot of fun
Songs? Fun? We love that
Teach us a song... Teach us a song
Teach us a song, please

You mean right now?

Yes!

Okay! Here we go...
Clap your hands, childen
Yesss

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy song
Won't you sing a-, sing a-, sing a-, sing along
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy day
Won't you come a-, come a-, come a-, come and play

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy song
Won't you sing a-, sing a-, sing a-, sing along
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy day
Won't you come a-, come a-, come a-, come and play

Who cares if we don't have a roof
We have the shade of the good old banyan tree
Who cares if we don't have a chalk
With a stick in the mud we'll write A-B-C
And the 1-2-3

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy song
Won't you sing a-, sing a-, sing a-, sing along
Come on, children
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy day
Happy day-ay
Won't you come a-, come a-, come a-, come and play
Watch it now

Any questions, children?
Yes, Mother

Will we be able to read?
Till now we just look at the images

Mother, he wants to read film magazines

Will we be able to write
To our grandparents back in our villages?

But of course!
You can do whatever you want to do! (WOW!)
And you can be whatever you want to be! (YESS!)
Why, you could be the Prime Minister (REALLY?)
Even if today you're just selling tea! (I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!)

I want to be a nurse and help you care
For the children in my slum

How wonderful!

I want to be the manager of Air India
And give you free tickets to Rome

I think you might
I love you, my children
And to you I raise a little toast
It's so fulfilling to teach those who want
And need it the most

And that's why it's a happy, happy, happy, happy song
Happy song
Won't you sing a-, sing a-, sing a-, sing along
Yeah!
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy day
Happy happy
Won't you come a-, come a-, come a-, come and play

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy song
Happy song
Won't you sing a-, sing a-, sing a-, sing along
Sing along now
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy day
Oh happy day
Won't you come a-, come a-, come a-, come and play
