Happy Song

People tell me I should write a happy song
But every time I try it always comes out wrong
I try to think about when I was happy, then
The more I think about it I get sad again
I know that one man's happiness should not depend
On being wed or having him a girlfriend
But the last time I was happy was when she was mine
The best that I can do without her is "Doing fine"

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song

Folks today are so concerned for people's moods
They doubt that there's good reason for their attitudes
But everyone's not happy, and not all the time
And last I heard a frown is a victimless crime
"At least you have your health" is just a nonsense phrase
From some unhappy soul who has seen better days
There's more to being hurt than what is physical
If someone tells you different they are slingin' bull----

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song

I guess you'll now believe I can't write happy songs
A different category is where this belongs
I start with good intentions, but just end up wrong
You should have believed I couldn't do it all along

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song
This is my happy song
This is my happy song
Ding Dong!
