When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by
When the air does laugh with our merry wit
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it
Ha ha he, come laugh with me
Sing with joy, wild and free
Ha ha he, so merrily
Nature's song in harmony
When the meadows laugh with lively green
And the grasshopper joins the merry scene
When Mary, Susan, and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing 'Ha ha he!'
Ha ha he, come laugh with me
Sing with joy, wild and free
Ha ha he, so merrily
Nature's song in harmony
Birds in the shade, with colors so bright
Our table set in the soft moonlight
Come live and be merry, join with me
And sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!'
Ha ha he, come laugh with me
Sing with joy, wild and free
Ha ha he, so merrily
Nature's song in harmony
