This song has a strong will to be THE optimistic anthem. CARPE DIEM. They Rodgers and Edwards knew they held a big one between hands, and wouldn't lose the chance of exporting a positive and eternal message of: let yourself LIVE. Drop the attitude and bad moods. This song is full of good advises, that your old man could give you anytime:

"Leave your cares behind Happy days are here again The time is right for makin' friends Let's get together Live the sporting life Time marches on, just can't wait The clock keeps turning, why hesitate Want the best Don't be a drag, participate
