It's not the end of the world
In fact it's not even the end of the summer
But thank god the TV is on
Cuz there's no way we could know
Anything that's goin' down
Or how were supposed to be feeling about it               
I can't tell you how much I wish we could shut up and sGmile, yeAah
Chorus
DSail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
Gla la la la la
DAll we need's a harmony and we'll convince the world to sing
Gla la la la la
EmThrow your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
GMaybe spread a little love
EmI know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I'm a little drunk)
GBut all we need is some ice Acream and a Dhug
DTaF#ke Ba Emgood look around
Does life really suck
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on (testing 1, 2)
Cuz I'm on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you all throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and sGmile, Ayeah

And old school metal and holiday cheer
To be happy
(All you need is someone near)
Like Ben and Jerry
(to hold you close and pretend that they care)
DCaBn Gwe Aall just, get along now
We found something that we all have in common now
We can hold hands, do keg stands
Water skiing sounds great to me now
