I feel a song comin' on

And I'm warning ya

It's a victorious

Happy and glorious new strain!

I feel a song comin' on

It's a melody!

Full of the laughter

Of children out after the rain!

You'll hear a tuneful story

Ringin' thru ya!

And now that my troubles are gone

Let those heavenly drums go on drummin'

Cause I feel a song comin' on!

Of children out after the rain!

You'll hear a tuneful story

Ringin' thru ya!

Love and glory!

Hallelujah!

And now that my troubles are gone

Let those heavenly drums go on drummin'
