Chorus
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 dream come true

Talk about a moon floating in de sky
Lookin’ like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird learnin’ how to fly
Makin’ all de music he can make [Chorus]

Talk about a star lookin’ like a toy
Peekin’ through de branches of a tree
Talk about a girl, talk about a boy
Countin’ all de ripples in de sea [Chorus]

Talk about a boy sayin’ to de girl
“Golly baby I’m a lucky cuss”
Talk about a girl sayin’ to de boy
“You an’ me is lucky to be us” [Chorus]

Coda: If you don’t talk happy
An’ you never have a dream
Den you’ll never have a dream come true
