[Verse 1]
Keep it gay, keep it light, keep it fresh, keep it fair
Let it bloom every night, give it room, give it air
Keep your love a lovely dream and never wake it
Make it happy and be happy as you make it

[Verse 2]
Let it sing like a nightingale in May, keep it gay
Keep it free or you'll frighten it away
Take it easy and enjoy it while you take it
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, let it sing like a nightingale in May, keep it gay
Keep it free or you'll frighten it away
Take it easy and enjoy it while you take it
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay
