Tomfoolery and High Jinks

Oh let's do something crazy
Let's go moonbathing at night
and we can knock on doorbells
and then have a rainball fight

Or let's go on a rampage
of destruction of all fear
We'll wreak some anti-havoc
spreading harmony and cheer

People need to drop their worries
go outside and play
a good old game of hide and seek
and we can lead the way

It's time for some tomfoolery
and high jinks to abound
Too many people lose themselves
in troubles so profound

So let's try something crazy
Oh I know what we can do
We'll skip some pebbles 'cross a pond
and climb a tree or two

We'll take your heavy burdens
and just toss them in the air
and then we'll dash through flowery fields
without a single care

Life is getting very short
it's time for boisterous fun
And many will not understand
until their time is done

Tomfoolery and high jinks
are the order of the day
We'll throw in some shenanigans
while laughing all the way
