Funiculì, Funiculà

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!
