lyrics

Here comes the sunshine
Firing up the day
Painting clouds and daffodils
Sending Grumpy on his way

Oh, what a sight
For a Jumbly Boy to see
Lurching over speed-bumps
Singing to the bumble-bees

Happy sun, happy day
Happy song, happy play
Happy cats, happy dogs
Happy birds, happy frogs

Happy girls, happy boys
Happy tots, happy toys
Happy roads, happy cars
Happy gears, happy bras

Happy front, happy back
Happy nose, happy crack
Happy pass, happy gate
Happy sodium alginate

Happy work in happy lines
Happy headless-chicken time
So why are you standing there
Alone?

Horsey up, horsey down
Carousel spinning round
Racing at a breakneck pace
Drawing colour from your face

Oh, what a life
For a Jumby Boy to live
Churning out placebo packs
For the hypochondriacs

Someone falling from the sky
Landing on a passerby
Someone in the undergrowth
Looking like a two-toed sloth

Someone crawling cross the yard
Peeling off a leotard
Someone in the wheely-bin
Brandishing a rolling-pin

Someone there inside the wall
On the run from Interpol
Someone underneath the floor
Mumbling like a dinosaur

Someone in the flowerpot
Munching roots and balls of snot
And this is why you’re screaming
All alone - OK?
