Perry Desmond-Davies: The Music
The *Happy* Song!
You say everything I write is serious and sad
You say that life can't be that rough, “Honey, it ain't that bad!”
So I thought I'd write a tune with your request in mind
It's the happiest, funniest, silliest, sunniest tune that I could find, so...
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la-la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
I hope you like your happy song!
Folk music gets a bad rap, it can be misunderstood
Just because it sounds depressing doesn't mean it isn't good
So here it is, per your request, just to prove you wrong:
Not only is it funny, but you can sing along (sing along):
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la-la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
I hope you like your happy song!
Now it's true that we folksingers like to tell our tale of woe, woe, woe
But just to prove I'm in your groove, I've done it: here you go:
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
Here's your damn happy song
Skiddly-dat-do-dad-n-do-dah-day
Here's your damn happy song
La la la la la la la la
I hope you like your happy song!
