The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
If you’ve nothing else to do
There’s place I’ll take you to
It’s called the magic land of make believe
It’s away up in the skies
But if you’ll just close your eyes
The way to get there, you will soon perceive
In a golden aeroplane
We can fly to Lover’s Lane
Where nothing sweethearts do is ever wrong
You will find each happy pair
Building castles in the air
And blowing bubbles there the whole day long
Refrain
Blowing bubbles all day long
In the magic land of make believe
Come and join the happy throng
There you’ll never have a chance to grieve
Smiling faces everywhere, greet you
With a merry gladsome song
Life seems brighter, hearts grows lighter
Blowing bubbles all day long
Sung here by Fred Feild:
