[Intro]
The wind is cold, the morning skies are grey
And through the fog, I walk along the bay
Past a regiment of rusty swings
On sandy fields of broken things
[Verse]
A Ferris wheel was turnin'
And the roller coaster roared
The summer sun was burnin'
On the hotdog stands and the candy stores
They had chocolate ice cream
And apples on a stick
And big old jars with gumdrops in 'em
And if you guessed it right, you'd win 'em
[Chorus 1]
Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Happyland, Happyland
You could have a real nice time
Any ride for just one dime
[Bridge]
What a great place to be four, five
And they left you alone
They had these cars that you could drive in
Pretend you were grown
I was much better off when I was pretendin'
Everything's far too real
[Chorus 2]
Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Carousels, wishing wells
Ba-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da, da-da-da
[Outro]
A Ferris wheel was turnin'
And the roller coaster roared
The summer sun was burnin'
On the hotdog stands and the candy stores
A Ferris wheel was turnin'
And the roller coaster roared
The summer sun was burnin'...
