Happy Talk 1949 South Pacific

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Dec 2005

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream,
if you don't have a dream
how you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a moon
floatin' in de sky
lookin' like a lily on a lake;
Talk about a bird
learnin' how to fly
makin' all de music he can make.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream,
if you don't have a dream
how you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a star
lookin' like a toy,
peekin' through de branches of a tree;
Talk about a girl
talk about a boy
countin' all de ripples on de sea.

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream,
if you don't have a dream
how you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about a boy
sayin' to de girl:
"Golly baby! I'm a lucky cuss!"
Talk about a girl
sayin' to de boy:
"You an' me is lucky to be us!"

Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
talk about things you'd like to do.
You gotta have a dream,
if you don't have a dream
how you gonna have a dream come true?

If you don't talk happy
an' you never have a dream
den you'll never have a dream come true!
