We sing a spring[00:00:00]

Sing joy spring[00:00:01]

A rare and most mysterious spring[00:00:02]

This most occulting[00:00:04]

Is buried deep in the soul[00:00:06]

It's story never has been told[00:00:10]

The joy spring the fountain of pleasure[00:00:12]

Is deep inside you whether you're digging it or not[00:00:16]

Once you're aware of this spring[00:00:18]

You'll know that it's the greatest[00:00:20]

Treasure you've got[00:00:22]

And furthermore[00:00:23]

The joy spring the bounteous treasure[00:00:24]

Cannot be bartered away and never[00:00:28]

Can be sold[00:00:29]

Nothing can take it from you[00:00:30]

It's yours and yours alone to have[00:00:32]

And to hold[00:00:34]

And something more:[00:00:35]

It never is lost to fire or theft[00:00:36]

It's always around[00:00:38]

When trouble is gone the pleasure[00:00:39]

Is left I've always found[00:00:41]

It's burglar-proof same as the treasure[00:00:42]

Man lays up in heaven worth a[00:00:44]

Price no one can measure[00:00:45]

That says a lot[00:00:47]

So joy spring this fountain of pleasure[00:00:48]

That's deep inside you let me inform[00:00:52]

You in all truth[00:00:53]

Ponce de Leon sought this[00:00:54]

When he was searching for the fountain of youth[00:00:56]

Oh Ponce de Leon laughed so much he[00:00:58]

Never did find the magic fountain[00:01:00]

But many people with a well-adjusted[00:01:04]

Spirit they could hear it when you told[00:01:05]

Them it was there telling them was[00:01:07]

Like telling it on the mountain[00:01:09]

It's quite a life having the gift oflaughter[00:01:12]

I'm a man who knows in a minute[00:01:14]

I can tell you just exactly how the story goes[00:01:16]

It involves a firm conviction in another[00:01:20]

Previous life giving your mind a chance to fly[00:01:22]

Fly around the universe investigating other[00:01:25]

Galaxies certain other subtle[00:01:27]

Types of life trying dig it getting[00:01:28]

Pretty well-acquainted with a lot of[00:01:29]

Other strife an pretty much acquiring[00:01:30]

Yourself plenty of education[00:01:31]

Pretty soon here comes earth birth[00:01:33]

And then you're ready to put it all the work[00:01:36]

But soon as you're finished being born[00:01:40]

You start forgetting what you knew[00:01:41]

'Cause you're another kinda you - a[00:01:43]

Reincarnation manifestation[00:01:44]

Of spirit in sensation[00:01:45]

You're really got that right[00:01:48]

The average person isn't bright[00:01:50]

Not so bright that they recall the fatal fall[00:01:52]

Down here this earth[00:01:54]

Their minds disguise their death to spirit[00:01:56]

Life and call it birth[00:01:57]

That's their reason for forgetting and they[00:01:59]

Find it very upsetting when reminded[00:02:01]

Tell them they've lived before[00:02:04]

They'll show you the nearest open door[00:02:05]

Gotta have feeling while dealing with[00:02:06]

Walkers in their sleep[00:02:07]

They can't imagine something as deep[00:02:09]

Here they come here they come there they are[00:02:10]

Unimaginative and ignorant of falling from a star[00:02:11]

Here they come there they are there they go[00:02:13]

Life is over in a minute an' they never dug[00:02:14]

It in it or enjoy a minute of it[00:02:16]

'Cause they put too much above it[00:02:17]

That was gross[00:02:18]

Something that was worth a couple bucks[00:02:18]

At mos[00:02:19]

So there is the reason that the maker of man[00:02:20]

Included there in his plan[00:02:23]

A certain fountain deep with in[00:02:25]

Where there was laughter youth 'n gold[00:02:27]

For human beings that haven't hold[00:02:28]

Share the memory of where we've all been[00:02:30]

Brothers called Grimm knew chances were slim[00:02:33]

Anybody would dig that the human soul[00:02:36]

Was Snow White[00:02:38]

And the Seven Dwarfs were seven tempers in man[00:02:39]

Whose digging out the gold completes the plan[00:02:42]

An Bacon was hip that Shakespeare[00:02:44]

Couldn't read[00:02:46]

And so he gave him all the rhymes[00:02:47]

That have lasted through the years[00:02:48]

And kept eternal truths alive through[00:02:49]

Several centuries[00:02:51]

That's how we know them now[00:02:53]

They lasted cause they're true[00:02:55]

What was it from MacBeth[00:02:56]

Life's but a walking shadow a player poor[00:02:58]

That struts and frets upon the stage[00:03:00]

And seen no more[00:03:02]

A tale that truly has an idiotic ring[00:03:03]

That's full of lots of sound and fury[00:03:06]

Signifying nothing '[00:03:08]

That's right signifying nothing[00:03:11]

I'll repeat it Nothing[00:03:13]

Don't forget it - Nothing[00:03:14]

And that's the reason for that spring of joy[00:03:16]

That the Father put inside of every[00:03:18]

Single girl and boy[00:03:20]

Show time Everyone's on[00:05:04]

Let's hit the stage[00:05:06]

It's show time everyone an' proceed[00:05:07]

To act your age[00:05:10]

Whatever you're frowning at is funny[00:05:17]

Enough laughing[00:05:18]

So you're wasting all your humor on a frown[00:05:18]

While you're bringing your spirit down[00:05:21]

You gotta book yourself a comic in your act[00:05:28]

Without some laughter life's a maudlin[00:05:31]

Farce 'n that's a fact[00:05:33]

Once you know about the spring you always can smile[00:05:39]

It becomes your one expression[00:05:42]

And you're always wearing it like the[00:05:43]

Buddhas do[00:05:45]

We sing a spring[00:05:55]

Sing joy spring[00:05:57]

A rare and most mysterious spring[00:05:58]

This most occulting[00:06:00]

For he was searching[00:06:58]

For the joy spring[00:06:58]
