Happy Days

(album: Man With The Fun - 1996)

Now listen to dih man call Maxi Priest
Man call Pleirs, dih man cal Chhaka Demus
Is just the three of us wh nuh bogus
Music dis is coming from dih flick of our wrist
We nah dis so listen to this
Ah tell yuh this

Happy days are here again
People gather round and tell your friends
It's great to be alive with a smile on your face
Cause that's allright
No you don't have to worry about your diamonds and pearls
You don't have to play around those kind of girls
You don't have to be the man who's high and fly
And that's no lie

Oh singing happy days are here again
Everything we got is heaven sent
Think about how lucky we ought to be

Cause life's the key
And if yuh happy just clap your hands
And if you happy just stamp your feet
We a celebrate life Jah know say it sweet
Listen dih rythm you just can't sleep
People go to work, people go to school
People go to church to learn the golden rule
People like to party, people love the sun
Every day's a bonus when you're having fun

Oh singing happy days are here again
Everything we got is heaven sent
Think about how lucky we ought to be

And if you just rich give to dih poor
The Father will love you more and more
And if you strong you help the weak
You turn yuh back you self defeat
Bap ba du bap spap
And if yuh happy just clap your hands
And if you happy just stamp your feet
We a celebrate life Jah know say it sweet
Listen dih rhythm you just can't sleep
Just think about the people who are fighting at war
Give me just a reason what they're fighting for
Life could be so nice if we inderstood
Learn to take the bad, like we take the good

Oh singing happy days are here again
Everything we got is heaven sent
Think about how lucky we ought to be
