Be young, be foolish, but be happy Be young, be foolish, but be happy Don't let the rain get you down it's a waste of time Have your fun, live every day in the bright sunshine It's the same old story all over the world Girl needs boy and boy needs girl So be young, be foolish, but be happy Be young, be foolish, but be happy Don't let love slip away Live your life for today Life is too short to worry about unimportant things Reach for the sky and touch a star, and then you'll find you dream Because dreaming alone is a shame indeed But if you've got love, that's all you'll need So be young, be foolish, girl be happy Be young, be foolish, girl be happy Be young, be foolish, girl be happy
