Why am I happy, why am I gay
Me and my baby just moved out today (Where?)
On Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
Now we don't quarrel, now we're so glad
Glad that we're living where love is the fad (Where?)
On Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
They never heard of blues, they never heard of fears
They never heard of woes, they never heard of tears
That's the reason folks are happy there
So woncha ya pack up your troubles, take my advice
You and your baby can find paradise (Where?)
On Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
(Whistling)
(Where?) To Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
(Whistling)
(Where?) To Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
They never heard of blues, they never heard of fears
They never heard of woes, they never heard of tears
That's the reason folks are happy there
Ooh, so woncha pack up your troubles, take my advice
You and your baby can find paradise (Where?)
On Happiness Street, Happiness Street
C'mon-a Happiness Street, corner Sunshine Square
