If you wanna fix a problem, then, you gotta be happy
Being happy is the only way out of a mess
If you wanna fix a problem, then, you gotta be happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
If you wanna paint a picture, then, you gotta pick a color
To begin, you pick a color the eye likes best
If you wanna paint a picture, then, you gotta make it happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
And oh, everybody I know
Is trying to make their way home
But they've forgotten the address
They can't find happiness
Wanna find a reason, now, a reason to be happy?
How about the reason you're about to take a breath?
If you're waiting for a reason, then, you might never be happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
If you're cooking the spaghetti and it gets a little messy
Well, you're never gonna fix it if you get too stressed
If you're cooking the spaghetti, then, you gotta be happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
And oh, everybody I know
Is trying to make their way home
But they've forgotten the address
They can't find happiness
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Happiness is sweeter if you lick it off the beater
If you dress up nice to meet her, if you buy it by the liter
Happiness is better if you wear it like a sweater
If you write it in a letter, if you're grateful when you get her
Happiness is free and you can start it from a seed
And then you grow it like a tree and then invite it in for tea
Happiness is tenderness and glorious and emptiness
And happiness is everywhere, everywhere is happiness
Oh, everybody I know
Is trying to make their way home
But they've forgotten the address
If you wanna fix the planet, then, you gotta understand that
You could get a little sad, but don't get depressed
If you wanna fix the planet, then, you gotta be happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
If you wanna fix a problem, then, you gotta be happy
Being happy is the only way out of a mess
If you wanna fix a problem, then, you gotta be happy
'Cause happiness creates happiness
Happy, are you ready to be happy?
Happy, are you ready to be happy?
Happy, I'm ready to be happy
I'm ready to be happy, I'm ready to be happy
Are you ready to be happy?
