  • I can laugh
    When things ain't funny
    A haha-happy-go-lucky me

    Yeah, I can smile
    When I ain't got no money
    A ha ha-happy-go-lucky me

    It may sound silly but
    Mmm, I don't care
    I got the moonlight
    I got the sun
    I've got the stars above

    Me and my philly, well, we both share
    This slappy go happy, happy go lucky love

    Well! Life is sweet...whoa, sweet as honey
    A haha-happy-go-lucky me

    It may sound silly but
    Mmm, I don't care
    I got the moonlight
    I got the sun
    I've got the stars above

    Me and my philly well, we both share
    This slappy go happy, happy go lucky love

    Well! Life is sweet whooa yeah!
    Sweet as honey
