I'd like to say a thing or two
About this song I sing for you
These are not the words you thought you knew
To Happy Days Are Here Again
There's a reason for the switch
I'm making a creative pitch
With the words I wrote without a hitch
To Happy Days Are Here Again
I came to show you my style
My name is Cynthia Weil
W-E-I-L
My lyrics will be slick and smart
Reminding you of Lorenz Hart
And we'll both sing when we top the chart
Happy Days Are Here Again!
Take me home!
You want a sonnet
I'll get right on it
I like a good rhyme
More than a good time
My pen's on fire
And I'm for hire
Donny let me write for you
