The Mills Brothers
Funiculi, Funicula
Oh why should any heart be filled with sadness?
We should be gay!
Oh my, the world should be all filled with gladness
In every way!
A song can make most anybody happy
So let us sing;
My song is full of life and good and snappy
It's got the swing!

Join the chorus
Now's the time to start
Sing the chorus
With a happy heart
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Do your little part
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la!

Oh how can anybody keep from dancing
When songs they play?
And how can anybody keep from prancing
We should be gay!
I claim the way to loosen up your feelings
Is sing and shout!
I'm thrilled all melodies are so appealing
I dance about!
Join the chorus
Now's the time to start
Sing the chorus
With a happy heart
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
With a happy heart
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la!
