Sidewalk Sunday seem right on Monday
That’s the way it’s always been
Chasing after a bit of laughter that’s hanging in the wind
Ooh, I’m in love with a lady
Got so many good things in my life

Frustrations every single day can roll off one by one
Don’t let them waste your life away
You can laugh and sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing along

Ooh, sure makes me lazy
Can’t help feeling I’m such a lucky guy lucky guy, guy
Happy just to be alive and living
Sharing the sun with a shady lady

Sing along, don’t be long keep in time with us sing along Yeah
Dee, dee, dee
You can laugh and sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing along
Ooh, I’m in love with a lady, got so many good things in my life
Ooh, I’m in love with a lady, got so many good things in my life
Ooh, I’m in love with a lady, got so many good things in my life
Ooh, I’m in love with a lady, got so many good things in my life

My Aunt Matilda stopped to say she’s feeling fine
The doctor said her heart is fine
She has time to spill the wine save a dime
Keep in time with us learn the rhyme.
Yeah
You can laugh and sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing along
Dee, dee, dee
You can laugh and sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
Sing along don’t be long
Keep in time with us sing the song
