lyrics

If you want to live all your dreams
Look at the world on a screen
So simple and fine
Make up your mind
Have a good time
Have a good time

I’ve got my girl and it’s so cool
She says ‘Hey, don’t be a fool!’
So simple and fine
Don’t go away, stay, baby stay
Stay!

No, it’s not a good time to keep your illusions
You’d better have imagination
It’s not because you use your brains
That you’ll become mad or insane

Just singing yea-ah
Singing La-la-la-la
Just singing yea-ah
Singing La-la-la-la
La-La-La-La-La-Laaa

There was a time when men were ready
To fight and die for a lady
It looked simple and fine
Open your arms to her fatal charms
She makes me believe in the future
A future I don’t know
I know nothing about it
Or so little baby, so little

No, it’s not a good time to keep your illusions
You’d better have imagination
It’s not because you use your brains
That you’ll become mad or insane

Just singing yea-ah
Singing La-la-la-la
Just singing yea-ah
Singing La-la-la-la
La-La-La-La-La-Laaa
