F#m                     E
It's a perfect day for letting go
     D                       E
For setting fire to bridges Boats
            F#m               E
And other dreary worlds you know
 D              A
Let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile Without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout
Let's get happy!

Chorus:
           G
"But it's much too late" you say
     F#m
"For doing this now
     Bm
We should have done it then"
         D
Well it just goes to show
      Bm
How wrong you can be
            C#m
And how you really should know
           D
That it's never too late
              F#m
To get up and go...

It's a perfect day for kiss and swell
Rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
There's loads of other stuff can make you yell
Let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck
For dancing like you can't hear the beat
And you don't give a further thought
To things like feet Let's get happy!

Chorus:
"But it's much too late" you say
"For doing this now
We should have done it then"
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...

F#m                  A
Kick out the gloom, kick out the blues
Bm                      D
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
F#m                        A
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Bm                      D
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

          F#m                  A
Oh, just burn down the house! Burn down the street!
Bm                           D
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
         F#m                       A
With the sound of your world going up in fire
        Bm              D
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
     F#m
And kiss it all goodbye...

It's a perfect day for getting wild
Forgetting all your worries Life
And everything that makes you cry
Let's get happy!

It's a perfect day for dreams come true
For thinking big
And doing anything you want to do
Let's get happy!

Chorus:
"But it's much too late" you say
"For doing this now
We should have done it then"
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...

Kick out the gloom Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

Oh just burn down the house! Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the dream is complete
With the sound of your world Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
