Having A Wonderful Time 1952

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 Sep 2005

When ever you feel out of sorts
your friends will all suggest
a day in bed, a weekend by the sea;
but we think that prevention
is the cure that works the best,
so why not try our easy remedy.

Having a wonderful time
there's no concealing
that we're feeling sublime,
the world's our oyster
and we haven't a care
there must be champagne in the air.
Having a wonderful time
is nature's med'cine
when you're in a decline,
don't let your worries
drive you home to your bed,
get out and paint the town instead.
Join in the fun
don't wait to celebrate
the show has begun.
If you can laugh at life
the battle is won,
and you'll be laughing in the sun.
Let's throw a party today
forget your head
and let your heart have its way
for Jack's a dull boy
with all work and no play
so just relax and you'll feel fine,
having a wonderful time.
