today is a good day
i found a new way
to express myself to you
had some bad days
sang about my sour ways
sweet dreams are starting to come true
i wrote this happy song for you
eeny meeny miney moe
lets go walking down a sunny road
lets put our best feets forward first
no more waiting for the worst
yabba dabba dabba doo
i have only got good news for you
sorry you had to wait so long
for me to write a happy song
tomorrow i can sing my sad songs
tell everybody whats going on
today i'm on vacation from the blues
chicken is on the barbecue
i got a can of beer a kiss or two
i gots to feeling i can't lose
i write a happy song for you
whoptie dooptie doo horray
there aint nobody that i need to pay
at least not right this minute
life is a game and we can win it
and hallelujah praise the lord
lets play some twister on the ouija board
bending backward makes you strong
enough to write a happy song
i'm sorry that it took so long
for me to write a happy song
