We're the happiest squiffle-group players in town
We're the happi - est, hippi - est, snappi - est, nifti - est,
squiffle-group players in town.
The clever - est, never rest, busi - est, friendli - est
squiffle-group players around.
Come and play with us every time,
You can play and make it chime.
We're the happi - est, hippi - est, snappi - est, nifti - est,
squiffle-group players sublime.
When you become one of the clan
you discover there's a whole new game.
The people you meet, and the fun you have,
Life won’t be the same.
We're the happi - est, hippi - est, snappi - est, nifti - est,
squiffle-group players in town.
The clever - est, never rest, busi - est, friendli - est
squiffle-group players around.
