Happiness will find you
When you least expect
It will sneak behind you
Wrap its fingers around your neck
With broad, cheery grip start tightening
All your blues turn purple-red
And you might have wished for something else
But happiness comes instead
Happiness will haunt you
Even in your sleep
It will tease and taunt you
Turning pratfalls while you weep
Its vicious vine keeps growing
Across the wall it creeps
And you might have thought you'd sewn something else
But happiness is what you reap
All hail happiness
That fair and winsome maid
What would we give for
That feeling we live for?
The warmth of the light on the stage
All hail happiness
Fall down on your knees
As soon as you've crossed it
You've stumbled and lost it
It flitters away in the breeze
