Text: The Box Tops. The Happy Song.

Oh, listen here, band up there, on the stand
Sing a joyful song so we can all sing too
Hum a merry tune to us that fits our mood
Simple little feelings we'll derive from you
Sing us a happy little song that we can dance to

Oh, sing us a song, a song of love and happiness
A flowing, going ride and, oh, please do your best
Light and fast, you know, but still with tenderness
Sing us a happy little song, now, and we can do the rest

We could light the night if we just let feelings flow
Just let ourselves go
Don't you know?

We could light the night if we just let feelings flow
Just let ourselves go
Don't you know?

Listen here, band up there, on the stand
Sing a joyful song so we can all sing too
Hum a merry tune to us that fits our mood
Simple little feelings we'll derive from you
Sing us a happy little song that we can dance to
