Happy Song 04:01
Mamma said never to walk in other peoples shadows. Pappa said to be brave bold as brass as we were yesterday. Now I see the road ahead covered in ice silhouette..... Sometimes we could be sad, mad ,bad, glad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. Sometimes we could be sad, mad , glad, bad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. We could be Happy We Could Be Happy .. . Mamma said to be free like the wind and disappear. Pappa said to be a man you've got to take it in your hands. Now I've grown to be a man I take it where i stand..... Sometimes we could be sad, mad ,glad, bad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. Sometimes we could be sad, mad , glad, bad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. We could be Happy We Could Be.... Happy Now i know where where going to To a land of opportunity .. Now we're living life of luxury You are standing with your tainted smile. Trumpet /Guitar/ sax solo Sometimes we could be sad, mad ,glad, bad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. Sometimes we could be sad, mad , glad, bad Sometimes we could be happy. We could be happy. We could be Happy We Could Be ....Happy

You walk in the door with your hands in your pants and you don’t know where you are. You spin spin around , sing and shout and shake up the dance floor. You look young so refined , so starry eyed. There’s tall Sue who know what to do and where to move and she says…. You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party…. There’s a Celebration at the station and hope you don’t leave too soon. There’s alchemy , toxic bloom, and the latest accessory. Financial booming, Global warming and the latest catastrophe. Start dancing , avalanching Watch out because she says… You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over… To The Trouser Party…. Electric Guitar solo There’s plenty of food with lots to do, And you don’t feel so secure. You look around mix a drink, as you walk past the dance floor. A new wave , A new Craze Out on the last crusade You start dancing , Start romancing… You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party…. You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party….

In the town of plenty There is a boy just watching He becomes the man of decision. He becomes the voice of reason This is the life of many While a girl awaits decisions If everyone could stop, Everyone could see.... What's the colour of money? That's the choice of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. What's the colour of money? That's the vision of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. If everyone could stop Everyone could see......... Far across the desert There is a man of interest He has the golden treasure without the fruition. This has become legend As we sow the seeds of living. f everyone could stop Everyone would see......... What's the colour of money? That's the choice of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. What's the colour of money? That's the vision of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. If everyone could stop. Everyone could see...... We could travel all around the world, We could be what we want to be. You buy your jewelry,' While I buy my time Making a fortune just singing this song.... We will remember We will remember We will remember We will remember What's the colour of money? That's the choice of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. What's the colour of money? That's the vision of many. What's the colour of money? That's the answer to freedom. If everyone could stop. Everyone could see......

Where work and pay is rewarding and the future looks so bright. She says : There is Enough for everyone, Is Enough for you and me. There is Enough for Everyone, Is Enough for all to See. There is Enough for everyone, Is Enough for you and me. There is Enough for Everyone, Is Enough for all to See. Doug wants to live on the outskirts of town Where Poverty is not prevalent and where living is all cheap - Oh Yeah Suzie wants to have a baby so she can tell tall stories, Of its inheritance and all the glory. She said:- There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see. Once Suzie left Scott he had big bills to pay. Scott's little baby just crawled its youth away. Scott couldn't understand so he drank his life away..... Harmonica SOLO He says we can change for the better. Count the lessons on one hand. We can change like the wind Or We can take a chance,. n a moment of fury we just had romance. She said:- There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see Harmonica solo There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone, is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see.
