lyrics

I don’t know how to cry
I don’t know how to be sad
I have never been called
A melancholy guy

I wear my head in my hat
I wear my feet in my shoes
Oh when I roll out of bed
I don’t feel one bit confused

And I go for a spin
Out in the morning sun
And I sing and shout
To everyone
That I’m happyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

When I walk the city streets
I give everyone a smile
Might even do a little dance
Every once in a while

And if a pretty lady lifts
Her head and looks nonplussed
I will wink at her and say
“Hey honey, don’t be a sourpuss

Come along for a spin
Out in the morning sun
Let us sing and shout
To everyone
That we’re happyyyyyyyyyy”

Everybody has to die
Every life comes to an end
You can’t do anything about it
There are rules you cannot bend

But if the optimist in me
Can offer some advice
It’s that living life unhappily
Is just like dying twice

So come along for a spin
Out in the morning sun
Take Grim Death by the hand
And tell him
To be happyyyyyyyyyy!
