How to Be Happy

Since the day he was made, man is wanderin’ about

Like a child in the wild, tryin’ to find out how to be happy

Anyway: Just in case that you ain’t got no clue

Happy days can have many faces, these are just a few

 

Take a walk with the dog, see the stars in the sky

Break a sweat, shake a leg, get wasted. Later get naked

Take a break for heaven’s sake, take a trip to the sea

A holiday far away and play the ukulele

 

Chorus

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day

Happiness will come and go-oh

But it won’t be back to stay

 

Read the texts of kitty cats on a calendar page

Set your hopes on horoscopes or some old mumbo-jumbo

Kiss the cheeks of chimney sweeps singin’ Chim-Chim-Cheree

Get your kicks from a dominatrix, if that’s your cup of tea

 

Chorus

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day

Happiness will come and go-oh

But it won’t be back to stay


Then again a clever man came up with a plan

Everyone would get along just nicely (quite unlikely)

Love and peace with enemies for all humanity

And the people listened in disbelief - and nailed him to a tree


Chorus

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow

Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day

Happiness will come and go-oh

But it won’t be back to stay
