Lyrics
- There’s a street, where you’ll meet
Faces that smile
Down in your neighborhood
Come with me, and you’ll see
Why they all smile
It’s just a boy there
Who’s spreading joy there
Chorus
How we love him
Sunny skies smile above him
Wonderful lad, is Speedy Boy
Jim and Sally, every kid in our alley
All of ’em mad ’bout Speedy Boy
There’s selcome, on every mat
In each humble flat
No matter where you find him
You’ll find joy
How we praise him
Trouble and care don’t faze him
Wonderful lad is Speedy Boy
- Dreary days, weary days
All of them gone
Since Speedy came along
When he’s nigh, worries fly
And from now on
He’ll make each alley
Like sunshine valley
