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
