Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why are grown-up peoples' faces wrinkled like a lot of prunes?
Money, money, that's what chases them around like crazy loons
I think they make a big mistake, wealth and happiness that counts
Are free to all in large amounts
[Verse 2]
There's millions worth of golden sunbeams
That everybody can possess
All God's children got success
Come and get your happiness
[Verse 3]
There's billions worth of silver moonbeams
Enough for everyone I guess
What's a million more or less?
Come and get your happiness
[Verse 4]
Among the wildwood of your happy childhood
Where you were Jills and Jacks
In raggy britches there's a lot of riches
On which you don't pay any income tax
[Verse 5]
So get under their blue heaven
Away from trouble and distress
Just find Mother Nature's address
And come and get your happiness
[Verse 6]
A penny's worth a golden sunshine
Great for you and me that everybody can possess
Come and get your happiness
[Verse 7]
There's billions worth of silver moonbeams
Enough for everyone I guess
What's a million more or less?
Come and get your happiness
[Verse 8]
Among the wildwood of your happy childhood
Where you were Jills and Jacks
In raggy britches there's a lot of riches
On which you don't pay any income tax
[Verse 9]
So get under their blue heaven
Away from trouble and distress
Just find Mother Nature's address
And come and get your happiness
Come and get your happiness
