I wandered around in a daze

I wandered around in a daze
Till some daffodils met my gaze
their radiant hue

I wandered around in a daze
Till some daffodils met my gaze
their radiant hue

Not forgetting to always say "Hello!"

Not forgetting to always say "Hello!"

Not forgetting to always say "Hello!"
just quietly, no need to bellow

just keep things serene

just quietly, no need to bellow
just keep things serene
And never be mean

Not forgetting to always say "Hello!"
just quietly, no need to bellow
just keep things serene
And never be mean

let's strive to be laid back and mellow
