Some think the world is made for fun and frolic And so do I! And so do I! Some think it well to be all melancholic To pine and sigh, to pine and sigh But I, I love to spend my time in singing Some joyous song, some joyous song To set the air with music bravely ringing Is far from wrong, is far from wrong Harken! Harken! Music sounds afar Tralala, Joy is everywhere, funiculi funicula! Ah me! 'Tis strange that some should take to sighing And like it well, and like it well For me, I have not thought it worth the trying So cannot tell, so cannot tell With laugh and dance and song the day soon pa**es Full soon is gone, full soon is gone
