Holiday Song
 (Sung text for setting by W. Schuman)

Language: English 
When was it ever a waste of time to climb hills?
When was it ever a useless thing
to sing the song of a long jolly day in the sun?
Mmmmm Lo! Deedelee dee, deedelee dee, Lo!
All of us, ev'ry one of us has something to sing about,
to sing and shout, to sing and shout!
Lo! Deedelee dee, deedelee dee, Lo!

Composition:

    Set to music by William Howard Schuman (1910 - 1992), "Holiday Song"
