A heart that's free

With a laugh and a dance,

Mine's a life to entrance,

Ah! Not a thought, not a care,

With a heart debonaire,

I am free as the sea,

Like the lark who at dawn

Bids the darkness begone

Do I sing merrily,

With a laugh and a dance,

Mine's a life to entrance,

For I know naught but glee,

And the word that I bring,

And the theme that I sing,

Is the song of a heart that's free.

Ah! then! let music ring,

La, while sweet voices sing;

La, pleasure is mine!

Echos repeating,

Measures entreating,

Song of a heart light and free.

Laughing all the day,

Chaffing cares away,

Hear my roundelay,

Heigh-o!

Not a thought, not a care...
