With a laugh and a dance,
Mine's a life to entrance,
Ah! Not a thought, not a care,
With a heart debonaire,
I am free as the sea,
Like the lark who at dawn
Bids the darkness begone
Do I sing merrily,

With a laugh and a dance,
Mine's a life to entrance,
For I know naught but glee,
And the word that I bring,
And the theme that I sing,
Is the song of a heart that's free.

Ah! then! let music ring,
La, while sweet voices sing;
La, pleasure is mine!
Echos repeating,
Measures entreating,
Song of a heart light and free.

Laughing all the day,
Chaffing cares away,
Hear my roundelay,
Heigh-o!

Not a thought, not a care...
