(You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou)
I’m gonna write a happy song
Hoping you might sing along
Maybe it will brighten up your day
yea-yea-yea
Well it only takes a smile
And in a little while
You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou
It doesn’t cost a penny
But it makes good common sense
To enjoy yourself by singing
So let the bells keep ringing
I’m gonna write a happy song
Hoping you might sing along
Maybe it will brighten up your day
yea-yea-yea
Well it only takes a smile
And in a little while
You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou
There’s no need to worry
It won’t get you anywhere
So dry your tears try not to pout
Why not let it all hang out
I’m gonna write a happy song
Hoping you might sing along
Maybe it will brighten up your day
yea-yea-yea
Well it only takes a smile
And in a little while
You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou
When you’re sad and lonely
And there’s nothing left to do
Think of me and sing my song
What else could you do that’s wrong
I’m gonna write a happy song
Hoping you might sing along
Maybe it will brighten up your day
yea-yea-yea
Well it only takes a smile
And in a little while
You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou
You will want to sing mm-mm-mm
The whole day throu-ou-ou
