And he makes you go skipping
And he makes you go dancing
And he gets you in rhythm
And he moves you in song

He's the youth of a thousand summers
He's the youth of a thousand summers
Like a sweet bird of youth
Like a sweet bird of youth
In my soul, in my soul, in my soul
In my soul, in my soul, in my soul
Yeah in my soul, in my soul, in my soul
Oh in my soul, in my soul, in my soul

And a sweet bird of youth
(in my soul, in my soul, in my soul)
Shh

In my soul
It makes me, yeah

In my soul, in my soul, in my soul,

In my soul, in my soul, shh
