Lyrics:

(We've done four already, but now we're steady)
(And then they went, one, two, three, four)

Singin' in the sunshine, laughin' in the rain
Hittin' on the moonshine, rockin' in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late for the hellhound headed forth
Oh, uh-huh
Ah-ow, yeah

Singin' to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free and play for me and play a whole lot more, more
Singin' 'bout the good things, and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing to the mountains, has the ocean lost its way
I don't know
Aw-aw, yeah

Ooh, yeah

La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Laa, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Laa, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Sittin' 'round singin' songs 'till the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singin' all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old, and it's a real fine way to start
Oh, yeah
Sure is fine
A-blow my mind
When I feel so good, now, a-yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so glad
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh-woo-hoo-ooh, oh-oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
A-woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, yeah
Oh, it's so good
