Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream
if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about a moon floatin' in the sky

Lookin' like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly
Makin' all the music he can make

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Let's talk about a star lookin' like a toy

Peekin' through the branches of a tree
Talk about a girl
talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl
Golly, Baby! I'm a lucky cuss!
Talk about a girl sayin' to the boy
'You and me are lucky to be us!"

Happy talk
keep talkin' happy talk

If you don't talk happy and you never have a dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true!
