Songs without Sense: Swiss Air

by Bret Harte 1836–1902

From East and West: Poems (1871): Part II

Living

I'm a gay tra, la, la,
With my fal, lal, la, la,
And my bright--
And my light--
Tra, la, le. [Repeat.]

Then laugh, ha, ha, ha,
And ring, ting, ling, ling,
And sing fal, la, la,
La, la, le. [Repeat.]
