Sing a Happy Song

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 wondered, 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 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, 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 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.



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.



Can multiply with each passin' by

And we all sing a happy song.
