It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside… Its a lirel bit fany dis filin’ insai’
I’m not one of those who can easily hide… Aym not wuan of douz ju can isily jaid
I don’t have much money but boy if I did… Ay don’ jav match mane bot boy if ay did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live… Ayd bay a big jaus wuer wui bof cuud liv

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no… If ay wuas a eskolptor, bot den aguen, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show… Or a man ju meiks poshons in a travelin’ shou
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do… Ay nou its not match bat its de best ay can du
My gift is my song and this one’s for you… May gift is may son’ an’ dis wuans for yiu

And you can tell everybody this is your song… An’ yiu can tel evrybary dis is yior son’
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done… It mey bi kuayt simpel bot nau dat its don
I hope you don’t mind… Ay jop yiu don’ main’
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words… Ay jop yiu don’ main’ daray put in wuords
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world… Jau wuonderful laif is wuail yior in de wuorl’

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss… Ay sat on de ruuf an’ kikdof de moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross… Wuel a fiu of de verses wuel deyv gat mi kuayt cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song… B’t de sans biin kuayt kain’ wuail ay wruout dis son’
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on… Its for pipol laik yiu dat kiipet torn on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do… So ecskiusmi forgerin’ bat diiz tings ay du
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue… Yiu sii ayv forgoren if deyr griin or deyr blu
Anyway the thing is what I really mean… Enywuey de ting is wuat ay rily miin
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen… Yiors ar’ de suirest ays ayv eve’ siin

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
