Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I sing this song, y'all
Singing it for my baby
She's the only one that can bring me joy
That's why I sing these happy songs, they go
[Verse 2]
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Come on now, happy song, happy song now
[Verse 3]
On a cold, rainy, windy night
She shed all my doubts, she cut off the lights
She holds me and squeeze me tight
She tells me, Big O, every things alright, and I go
[Verse 4]
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Say it again
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Do it again
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Come on now, those happy songs, happy, happy songs
[Verse 5]
Come on
[Verse 6]
Bring my breakfast to the table
When I go to work, she know I'm able
Do my chore, I come back in
You wanna see my baby's face, she just grin, grin, grin, I go
[Verse 7]
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Say it again
Dum-dum-de-de-de-dum-dum
Sing them happy songs
Lovely, lovely song
Sweet soul song
Those good old happy songs
[Verse 8]
It gives you such a feeling
A lovely, lovely feeling
It makes you wanna shout
In fact, it knocks you out
[Verse 9]
Those happy, happy songs
Those good old lovely songs
Those sweet nursery rhyme songs
Those good old lovely songs
Those sweet soul music songs
Those good old, good old songs
