Happy And Young Together   (G. Kooymans/R. Gerritsen) 1967 Winter-Harvest

 

When the day is coming, your mother tells you

Look what you do and you’re almost a man

Then you sit and you’re thinking, you know what she means

But you don’t let her know, she thinks you don’t understand

 

But you got a girl and you’re happy

And her father says: it’s no good, it’s no good

Together we continue, let me I’m easy, you don’t get a chance to change it

 

But now we are married and happy together

But her father doesn’t like me and I don’t like him

I have to work for my living, ‘cause nobody helps me

It doesn’t matter at all, I think it’s just fine

 

But you got a wife and you’re happy

And her father says: it’s my daughter, it’s my daughter

Together we continue, let me I’m easy, you don’t get a chance to change it

 

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me

 

But now we are married and happy together

But her father doesn’t like me and I don’t like him

I have to work for my living, ‘cause nobody helps me

It doesn’t matter at all, I think it’s just fine

 

But you got a wife and you’re happy

And her father says: it’s no good, it’s no good

Together we continue, let me I’m easy, you don’t get a chance to change it

 

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me

 

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me

And I’m happy and young together and I wish you could be like me
