Standard (EADGBE)

 Listen here, band up there, on the stand,

Sing a joyful song so we can all sing too

Hum a merry tune to us that fits our mood

Simple little feelings well derive from you

Sing us a happy little song that we can dance to

Sing us a song, a song of love and happiness

A flowing, going ride and, oh, please do your best

Light and fast, you know, but still, with tenderness

Sing us a happy little song, now, and we can do the rest

We could light the night if we just let feelings flow

Just let ourselves go, don't you know?

Instrumental

We could light the night...

(Repeat verse)
