Lyrics

  1. There’s a street, where you’ll meet
    Faces that smile
    Down in your neighborhood
    Come with me, and you’ll see
    Why they all smile
    It’s just a boy there
    Who’s spreading joy there

Chorus
How we love him
Sunny skies smile above him
Wonderful lad, is Speedy Boy
Jim and Sally, every kid in our alley
All of ’em mad ’bout Speedy Boy
There’s selcome, on every mat
In each humble flat
No matter where you find him
You’ll find joy
How we praise him
Trouble and care don’t faze him
Wonderful lad is Speedy Boy

  1. Dreary days, weary days
    All of them gone
    Since Speedy came along
    When he’s nigh, worries fly
    And from now on
    He’ll make each alley
    Like sunshine valley
