Long Life, 
Lot's of Happiness

( Long life, lots of happiness, good wine, 

lots of pretty kids . . . )

 

We gotta be one, one happy time . . .

 

Drive in show, covered with snow, 

but we never felt the cold! 

We bought us a blanket 

and I always meant to thank it 

for huggin' us so close!

 

So we loved and laughed 

an' the world was our bankroll to spend ( bankroll to spend! )

I took you to dinner, chow main and egg rolls 

the fortune cookies that read ( cookies read! )

 

Long life, lot's of happiness, good wine, 

lot's of pretty kids . . . 

we gotta be one, one happy time . . .

 

It was a bitter wine, our first sip of time

then we drank 'till the sweet stuff ran dry

through sunshine an' roses, the winter's red noses 

the days softly tip toeing by!

 

Now, you're the good ol' days 

as you come back to play on my mind 

the time of the rain, the last time you came 

you lived by those silly old lines!

 

Long life, lot's of happiness, good wine, 

lot's of pretty kids . . . 

we gotta be one, one happy time . . .

 

. . . long life, lot's of happiness, good wine, 

lot's of pretty kids . . . 

we, we gotta be one, one happy time . . .
