    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
    A waste of time
    Have your fun, live everyday in the bright sunshine
    The bright sunshine
    Well, it's the same old story all over the world
    Girl meets boy, and boy meets girl
    So be young, be foolish, but be happy
    Be young, be foolish, but be happy
    Don't let love slip away, slip away
    Live your life for today, for today
    Life is too short to worry about unimportant things
    Unimportant things
    Reach for the sky, touch your star, and then you find your dream
    Find your dream
    'Cause dreamin' alone, it's a shame indeed
    But if you got love that's all you need
    So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
    Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
    So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
    Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
    So be young, be foolish, girl be happy
    Be young, be foolish, girl stay happy
