Come, let us be joyful
While life is bright and gay
Come, gather its rosebuds

Ere they fade away
(Clap hands while singing)
Oh, don't you worry and don't you fret,

(Shake head from side to side)
There's lots of life in the old world yet,
We'll take the rose, the thorn forget,

(Point with finger)
And go our way rejoicing.
(Clap hands)
