SONG
​ONLY
HAPPY YOU AND MERRY ME
​
Who's young and healthy?
Cross your heart and confess,
happy you and merry me.

Oh who's bought a ticket for the Joytown Express?
Happy you and merry me.

Though Mr. Gloom may chase us,
we'll dodge him every day. Say

Who's feeling fine and dandy?
Say can't you see?
Happy you and merry me.
