Lesson One (1982 Naersnes Demo) Lyrics

Come on
Say after me
I’m happy, happy as can be
Hip-Hip-Hooray
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It ain’t no better to be safe than sorry

So, here’s a kid lesson
My number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun

So needless to say
I’m odds and ends
I’m me-ee-ee-ee-ee

[?]

Today is another day to find you
Anchors away
I’ll be coming for your love okay

So, here's a kid lesson
My number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun
So, here’s a kid lesson
My number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun
Say after me
I’m happy, happy as can be
Hip-Hip-Hooray
Slowly learning that life is okay

I know that life's okay

I know that life’s so good
I know that life can be wrong
Ooooh
Uh-huh
Ah-ha!

I know it’s meant to be good!

So, here’s a kid lesson
My number one
All's good that starts well and moves with the sun
So, here’s a kid lesson
My only one
