| Little Johnny’s painting in his picture book
|
| Pinning all his hopes on toy balloons
|
| But no one taught him how to sing «Jerusalem» at school
|
| Someone’s always dicking with the tunes
|
| It’s a beautiful day for the children to play
|
| (Isn't that what this should be?)
|
| It’s a beautiful world and you’re free as a bird
|
| (Ain't no bad thing to believe)
|
| It’s a beautiful game and the rules never change
|
| (Isn't that what it should be?)
|
| Isn’t this the garden of Gethsemane?
|
| Isn’t this where all the children play?
|
| Little Johnny’s painting pictures no one else will see
|
| Who are we to rain on his parade?
|
| It’s a beautiful day for the children to play
|
| (Isn't that what this should be?)
|
| It’s a beautiful world and you’re free as a bird
|
| (Ain't no bad thing to believe)
|
| It’s a beautiful game and the rules never change
|
| (Isn't that what this should be?)
|
| You don’t have to suffer
|
| Happiness in bundles hanging from tall trees
|
| Ladders on the lawn for you and me, (Ain't no bad thing)
|
| Curtains drawn on windows of uncertain certainties
|
| We don’t get these premises for free
|
| It’s a beautiful day for the children to play
|
| (Isn't that what this should be?)
|
| It’s a beautiful world and you’re free as a bird
|
| (Ain't no bad thing to believe)
|
| It’s a beautiful game and the rules never change
|
| (Isn't that what this should be?)
|
| Mother nature’s gift to you and me
|
| (Ain't no bad thing) |
