Lazy days calling to you Come out to play The future lies with you Now you can be sure love is the cure What we're searching for Is to have a jolly good time Crazy days but you'll get me through And here I'll stay holding on to you Now you can be sure Our thoughts unpure Will unlock the door And we will have a jolly good time It can happen in any season We don't need any reason To sit around and wait The world can change in a second so I find the sunshine beckons me To open up the gate And dream and dream Lazy days don't let them get you down Wear your smile I don't want to see you frown Don't let them get you down It can happen in any season We don't need any reason To sit around and wait The world can change in a second so I find the sunshine beckons me To open up the gate And dream and dream Then we will have - a jolly good time
