Happy-Go-Lucky



Blissfully blase
Carefree as a wren
Happy-go-lucky
This is a yen

Easily simple
Carefree as a boar
Happy-go-lucky
This is a lore

Quietly serene
Carefree as a fish
Happy-go-lucky
This is a wish

Steadily upbeat
Carefree as a mule
Happy-go-lucky
This is a rule

Merrily joyful
Carefree as a coon
Happy-go-lucky
This is a boon

Casually basic
Carefree as a toad
Happy-go-lucky
This is a mode
