Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody, it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody, ain't it true that
Everybody's lookin' for the same thing?
[Verse 2]
Ain't it true, there's room for doubt?
There's some things that you can't do without, and that's good
Ain't it true, it's the sun that shines?
You got yours, and you got mine, and that's good
[Verse 3]
Everybody's just like you, it's true
Everybody wants a good thing too
[Verse 4]
Everybody, it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody, ain't it true that
Everybody's lookin' for the same thing?
[Verse 5]
Ain't it true, there's room for doubt?
Maybe some things that you could do without, and that's good
Everybody's just like you, it's true
Everybody wants a good thing too
[Verse 6]
Now let's have a great big hand
For everybody who can understand
Life's a bee without a buzz
It's goin' great till you get stung
[Verse 7]
And let us not forget to toast
Everyone who might have missed the boat
And to everybody else who waits
Till the next one sails in again
[Verse 8]
Everybody, it's a good thing
Ain't it true, it's a monumental good thing
Everybody, it's a good thing
Ain't it true, it's a monumental good thing
[Verse 9]
Everybody, it's a good thing
Ain't it true, it's a monumental good thing
