What’s the good of hurrying
What’s the good of worrying
When we’ve all got so much to be thankful for

I can stroll down a lane
Leading me home again
When I get there to the ones who care
I’m perfectly satisfied

I can rest by a brook
Reading my story book
Getting a breeze ‘neath the scented trees
I’m perfectly satisfied

I don’t have to ride in motor cars
I don’t need a yacht
I sit back and thank my lucky stars
For the things I’ve got

Someone to love and kiss
Nothing on earth I miss
Everything’s fine and the world is mine
I’m perfectly satisfied.  

(Musical Break)

(Spoken)
Well, come on boys, this is where we sing again.
What? Sing again? Say listen

(Sung)
My throat is getting sore
I don’t wanna sing anymore

So you’re leaving us flat, huh?
Well that’s that
We’re perfectly satisfied

What if we’re not in tune
This record is ending soon
And whether it’s good 
Or whether it’s bad
We’re perfectly satisfied

(Musical Break)

This record is nearly over
So there’s something we must decide
Shall we sing any more 
(Not on my account)
We’re perfectly satisfied.
