Happy, Happy, Oh, Happy Days

 

Makes me happy listening

to music I love.

Makes me happy on a warm

and sunny day.

Makes me happy remembering

the good old days.

Makes me happy to hear

your cheerful voice.

Makes me happy eating

a slice of chocolate cake.

Makes me happy for those glorious days

and when all my faculties are awake.

It doesn’t take a lot to make me

happy these days of old and gray.

I’m always happy

when the home town team wins.

Happy for days of healthy shits

and big old grins.

Makes me happy I had the good sense

to take your lovely picture years ago.

Happy I am reminded over and over

again of all those happy days past.

I am happy to be retired at age 74,

Happy, happy, oh, happy days before.

You, chocolate cake and regularity,

that’s all it takes;

I could always use more.
