Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh there are days, when skies are gray
And everything goes wrong
When I start yelling go away
And people say, so long
When everything's in disarray
I'm right where I belong
When fun's away on holiday
This grouch must sing this song
[Verse 2]
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'm happy 'cause I'm mad
And I'm mad 'cause it sounds sappy
To be happy when you're sad
[Verse 3]
Yes, there are days when skies are grey
And all the world looks yucky
When clouds and rain won't go away
The road I'm on turns mucky
My feet splash in the mud and hay
My toes get wet and yucky
Yes everything just goes my way
I feel so gosh darn lucky
[Verse 4]
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'm happy 'cause I'm mad
And I'm mad 'cause it sounds sappy
To be happy when you're sad
[Verse 5]
Everybody sing
[Verse 6]
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'm happy 'cause I'm mad
And I'm mad 'cause it sounds sappy
To be happy when you're sad
