Lyrics
I’m so happy, happy-go-lucky me
I just go my way, living every day
I don’t worry, worrying don’t agree
Winter, Fall and Spring, I just smile and sing
Refrain:
Things that bother you never bother me
I think everything’s fine
Livin’ in the sunlight, lovin’ in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
Haven’t got a lot, I don’t need a lot
Coffee’s only a dime
Livin’ in the sunlight, lovin’ in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
Just take it from me
I’m just as free as any dove
I do what I like, just when I like
And how I love it
I don’t give a hoot, give my cares the boot
All the world is in rhyme
Livin’ in the sunlight, lovin’ in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
Refrain:
I go swimming with pretty women
And I find life is divine
Swimmin’ in the sunlight, swimmin’ in the moonlight
Having a whale of a time
When I’m stepping out with my runabout
How we step is a crime
Starting in the moonlight, ending in the sunlight
Havin’ a glorious time
I pet what I like, get what I like
Once in a while
But if she says “No”, I let her go
And keep on smiling
I’m right here to say, when I’m old and gray
I’ll be right in my prime
Livin’ in the sunlight, lovin’ in the moonlight
Havin’ a heck of a time
