It isn’t rumored that a war is hanging in the air
Because the world is peaceful, everyone is nice and fair
It is incredible but no one knows the word divorce
The day is pastoral, the law of love comes into force

So come along and sing a song
A song which all the lousy things denies
Adorn the world and make believe
That life is peaceful, beautiful and nice
So come along and sing a song
Of happiness and pretty lies

No one is flying at another’ s throat, a cheerful dove
Is flying joyfully, a poet rhymes a song of love
And even in a metropolis, on a sunny square
We surely don’t observe a living being in despair

So come along and sing a song
A song which all the lousy things denies
Adorn the world and make believe
That life is peaceful, beautiful and nice

So come along and sing a song
Of happiness and pretty lies
So come along and sing a song
A song which all the lousy things denies
Adorn the world and make believe
That life is peaceful, beautiful and nice
So come along and sing a song
Of happiness and pretty lies
