Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You've got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about the moon floating in the sky
Looking at a lily on the lake;
Talk about a bird learning how to fly.
Making all the music he can make.
Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You've got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about a star looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree;
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea.
Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You've got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about the boy saying to the girl:
"Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cuss"
Talk about the girl saying to the boy:
"You and I are lucky to be us!'.
Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You've got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
Talk about the boy saying to the girl:
"Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cuss"
Talk about the girl saying to the boy:
"You and I are lucky to be us!'.
If you don't talk happy,
And you never have dream,
Then you'll never have a dream come true!
