LYRICS FOR
AGEXPO SING-A-LONG by KLSINGS and friends
@ KLCC, MAY 2022
1. THE HAPPY WANDERER
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
CHORUS:
Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-dera,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri, Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every green wood tree.
High overhead, the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home
But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath the clear blue sky!
2. TOP OF THE WORLD
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
CHORUS
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found,
ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here [Chorus]
3. WHEN I'M 64
When I get older losing my hair, many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine, Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm sixty four?
You'll be older too
And if you say the word, I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line, stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?
4. TRY TO REMEMBER
Try to remember the kind of September
1) when life was slow and oh, so mellow
2) when grass was green and grain was yellow
3) when you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow
Try to remember when life was so tender
1) that no one wept except the willow
2) that dreams were kept beside your pillow
3) that love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
1) although you know the snow will follow
2) without the hurt the heart is hollow
3) the fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow

6. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
CHORUS
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried. (Chorus)
7. IT'S A SMALL WORLD
It’s a world of laughter,
a world of tears
It’s a world of hopes
and a world of fears
There’s so much that we share,
That’s it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all.
CHORUS:
It’s a small world after all (x3)
It’s a small, small world.
There is just one moon
and one golden sun,
And a smile means friendship
to everyone,
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide,
It’s a small world after all. (Chorus)
8. DAYUNG SAMPAN
Naik sampan, sampan didayung
Sampan melaju hai nelayan
Ke pantai yang biru
Kalau tuan mencari jodoh
Jangan mencari hai nelayan
Selalu cemburu, ya, ya, ya, ya
Jangan selalu cemburu
Cemburu hatinya palsu
Dayung, dayung,
dayung, dayung sampan
Naik sampan menja-la ikan
Ikan dijala hai nelayan
Ditengah muara
Kalau Tuan mencari makan
Makan dicari hai nelayan
Menarik suara, ya,ya, ya, ya
Mari menarik suara
Narik suara bersama
Dayung, dayung,
dayung, dayung sampan

10. THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
CHORUS
Those were the days my friend,
we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say (Chorus)
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me (Chorus)
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same (Chorus)
11. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand (x3)
Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand (x2)
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide (x3)
Yeah, you got that somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand (x3)
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide (x3)
Yeah, you got that somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I feel that somethin'
I want to hold your hand (x3)
12. DANCING QUEEN
[Chorus] Ooh ..
You can dance, You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing, You’ve come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine, You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, Only seventeen
Dancing queen, Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah [Chorus]
13. THE YOUNG ONES
The young ones
Darling, we're the young ones
And young ones, shouldn't be afraid
To live, love, while the flame is strong
'Cause we may not be the young ones
very long
Tomorrow, why wait until tomorrow?
'Cause tomorrow sometimes never comes
So love me, there's a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing it
While we're young
Once in every lifetime
Comes a love like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my darling, can't you see?
Young dreams,
Should be dreamed together
And young hearts shouldn't be afraid
And some day
When the years have flown
Darling, then we'll teach the young ones
Of our own
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
CHORUS:
Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-dera,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri, Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come! Join my happy song!"
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every green wood tree.
High overhead, the skylarks wing,

But just like me, they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath the clear blue sky!
