A Happy Song

I walked up the street with a smile To greet all of the passing strangers And I don't know why everybody's so shy Maybe they're feeling blue There's been a thing that's going on It feels like melancholy has dawned Where is the music? Where has it gone? Somebody, come on Sing me a song, any kinda song Let's get together and make right all the wrongs Sing me a song, any kinda song Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone It's been way too long with all that's going on Since I've had the pleasure to hear a happy song Sing me a song now Sing me a song now I was sitting in the park, just before it got dark When I heard an alarm And I can't figure out why it is that I hear Only sad songs in the atmosphere There's been a thing that's going on It feels like melancholy has dawned Where is the music? Where has it gone? Somebody, come on Sing me a song, any kinda song Let's get together and make right all the wrongs Sing me a song, any kinda song Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone It's been way too long with all that's going on Since I've had the pleasure to hear a happy song Sing me a song now Sing me a song now I went across town and then underground To catch home the train And that's when I heard the sweetest of sounds A young child singing for change I said, "Where you been, child, all day? I've been searching everywhere for somebody like you To sing a happy tune" So, come on Sing me a song, any kinda song Let's get together and make right all the wrongs Sing me a song, any kinda song Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone Sing me a song, any kinda song Let's get together and make right all the wrongs Sing me a song, any kinda song Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone Sing a happy song SIng a happy song SIng a happy song
