Happy, and I'm smiling
Walk a mile to
Drink your water –
You know I'd love to love you
And above you
There's no other!
We'll go walking out
While others shout
Of war's disaster –
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living
In the past!

Once I'd used to join in
Every boy an'
Girl was my friend –
Now there's revolution
But they don't know
What they're fighting!
Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives
Go on much faster –
Oh, we won't give in
We'll keep living
In the past!

Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living
In the past!
Oh, no, no, we won't give in
Let's go living
In the past!
