This is my happy song
I wrote it on demand
I'll trade it for your smile
and sing at your command
I wrote it for you to see
what your presence can do for me
The morning bird brought me the news
He said it was high time to quit this blues
He said there's only one way left to go
and I believe him
I don't even care he was just a crow
This is my happy song
It's neither soft nor slow
I wrote it just for you
when I was feeling low
It sounds as happy as I can be
It ain't just my sense of irony
The morning bird brought me the news
He said it was high time to quit this blues
He said there's only one way left to go
and I believe him
I don't even care he was just a crow
So come on over
Help me sing this happy tune
come on over
Help me sing this happy tune
Come on over now
I could use your help somehow
So come on over
Help me sing this happy tune
come on over
Let's join the laughing loons
While I got my grip on it
don't leave me alone with it
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
Help me sing this happy tune
