Everybody oughta sing a happy song be thankful to be a livin’
The good things that you get are just interest on your givin’
And walkin’ a mile kind words in a smile to everyone you meet all along
Can multiply with each passin’ by and we all sing a happy song
Well it’s a sad ol’ world that we’re a livin’ a man told me yesterday
Well he said I didn’t have any reason to care cause tomorrow I’d be blown away
Well I wanted was he right and I wear all night until the new day came along
Then the sun shone bright and the world looked bright so I sang me a happy song
Everybody oughta sing…
[ guitar ]
Well today you need a program to see who to shootin’ who
And I hear folks a sayin’ that tomorrow we’ll all be through
Cause we got a bum and they got a bum and all God’s children got a bum
I don’t know what’s wrong but we’ll all get along if we just sing a happy song
Everybody oughta sing…
Everybody oughta sing…
Can multiply with each passin’ by and we all sing a happy song
