The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A

Tanya Tucker · Other Songs - Tanya Tucker

Shine on me sunshine

Walk with me world

It's a skippidity-do-da day

I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.



Good morning morning

Hello sunshine

Wake up sleepy head

Why'd we move that bojangle clock

so far away from the bed



Just one more minute

That's why we moved it

One more hug or two

Do you love waking up next to me

As much as I love waking up next to you



You make the coffee

I'll make the bed

I'll fix your lunch

if you'll fix mine



Now tell me the truth

Do these old shoes look funny

Honey

it's almost nine



Now you be careful

Gotta go I love you

Have a beautiful day,

And kiss the happiest girl, In the whole U.S.A.



Bridge:

Skippidity-do-da

Thank you oh Lord

for making him for me

And thank you for letting life turn out the way



That I always thought it could be

There once was a time when I could not imagine

How it would feel to say

I'm happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A



Chorus:

Now shine on me sunshine

Walk with me world

It's a skippidity-do-da day

I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A.



Repeat Chorus 2x (to fade)

The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A

Tanya Tucker's 1990 single 'The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A' stands as a defining anthem of the country music revival era. Recorded during her peak commercial success, the track blends her signature high-lonesome vocal style with a polished pop-country production that bridged the gap between traditional honky-tonk and mainstream radio appeal. The song explores themes of youthful optimism and the fleeting nature of happiness, delivered with a vocal performance that showcased Tucker's ability to convey both vulnerability and strength. It remains a staple of her discography, often cited as a key track in her transition from a child star to a respected adult artist in the genre.
