Happy Talk - Claudine Longet 

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 a dream come true?

Talk about a moon
Floatin' 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-

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 a dream come true?

Talk about a star
Lookin' like a toy,
Peakin' t'rough de branches of a tree;

Talk about a girl,
Talk about a boy,
Countin' all de ripples on de sea-

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 a dream come true?

Talk about a boy
Sayin' to a girl;
"Golly, baby! I'm a lucky cuss!"

Talk about de girl
Sayin' to de boy:
"You an' me is lucky to be us!"

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 a dream come true?

If you don't talk happy
An' you never have a dream,
Den you'll never have a dream come true.
