lyrics

who is happy, happy?
what is happiness?
who is really happy
what is happy, happy
what do you do with it?

who is happy happy
what is happiness
where do you get happy happy
what is happiness
i don't know how to spell it

who is really happy?
we're not really happy
where do you get happiness
what is happy happy
i don't know where to get it

happy happy happy birthday
i'm not going to see you blow out your candles
merry merry merry merry christmas
and i'm not going to be around for breakfast

i just want a good knife next to me
i just want a four-legged friend to walk with

oohhhhhh, ohhhh
1,2,3,4,

happy happy happy happy birthday
i'm not going to be around this year
merry merry merry merry christmas
i'm not going to stare at the bright lights

i just want a good knife next to me
i just want a four-legged friend, a companion

ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhh
