THE HAPPY SONG

This is a happy song
Such a happy song
I can't believe I'm hearing this
From Terry Long
This is a happy song
Such a happy song
It's a shame I won't be singing it
For very long

'Cause the songs he writes
They are so sad
And the people in them are so bad
And they always end in tragedy
So I can't believe he wrote
A song that's happy

I wrote a happy song
Such a happy song
I can't believe I'm hearing this
I don't know what went wrong
I wrote a happy song
Such a happy song
My reputation is at stake
I can't let this go on

For the songs I write
They are so sad
And the people in them are so bad
And they always end in tragedy
So I can't believe I wrote
A song that's happy
