Sing A Happy Song

(álbum: I've Got You On My Mind Again - 1968)

Everybody oughta sing a happy song
Be thankful to be a-living
The good things that you get
Are just interest on your giving

And walking a mile kind words in a smile
To everyone you meet all along
Can multiply with each passing by
And we all sing a happy song

Well, it's a sad ol' world that we're a-living
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-living
The good things that you get
Are just interest on your giving

And walking a mile, kind words in a smile
To everyone you meet all along
Can multiply with each passing by
And we all sing a happy song

Well, today you need a program
To see who to shooting who
And I hear folks a-saying
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-living
The good things that you get
Are just interest on your giving

And walking a mile, kind words in a smile
To everyone you meet all along
Can multiply with each passing by
And we all sing a happy song

Everybody oughta sing a happy song
Be thankful to be a-living
The good things that you get
Are just interest on your giving

And walking a mile kind words in a smile
To everyone you meet all along
Can multiply with each passing by
And we all sing a happy song

Can multiply with each passing by
And we all sing a happy song
