Since the day he was made, man is wanderin’ about
Like a child in the wild, tryin’ to find out how to be happy
Anyway: Just in case that you ain’t got no clue
Happy days can have many faces, these are just a few
Take a walk with the dog, see the stars in the sky
Break a sweat, shake a leg, get wasted. Later get naked
Take a break for heaven’s sake, take a trip to the sea
A holiday far away and play the ukulele
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day
Happiness will come and go-oh
But it won’t be back to stay
Read the texts of kitty cats on a calendar page
Set your hopes on horoscopes or some old mumbo-jumbo
Kiss the cheeks of chimney sweeps singin’ Chim-Chim-Cheree
Get your kicks from a dominatrix, if that’s your cup of tea
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day
Happiness will come and go-oh
But it won’t be back to stay
Then again a clever man came up with a plan
Everyone would get along just nicely (quite unlikely)
Love and peace with enemies for all humanity
And the people listened in disbelief - and nailed him to a tree
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-dap-dow
Wap-a-dap-dap-dapa-dee-day
Happiness will come and go-oh
But it won’t be back to stay
