"Happy Just To Be Like I Am" lyrics

"Happy Just To Be Like I Am"

Happy just to be like I am
Doin' just the best I can
Workin' like a workin' workin' man
Baby now ain't I?

Oh, the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
Everybody's sing, happy day
People sing happy day, happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy days

When you walk down that road
Keep just a pushin' on your load
It gets lighter as you go, I'm told
Baby, so they tell me

Now the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
And everybody sing, happy day
Sing happy day, happy day, children
Sing happy day, happy day, happy day

When you look into my eyes
I dig it when you look in my eyes
Please try my love for size
Baby, I will never hurt you

And the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
And everybody sing, happy day
Sing happy day, happy day, baby
Sing happy day, happy day, happy day

Love you, yes, I do
Gonna give my love all back to you
If I did not have you
What, what would I do?

The bells, they wouldn't ring
And the people, they wouldn't sing
I wouldn't have no one to sing happy day
Sing happy day, oh happy day, happy day

And the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
And everybody sing, happy day, children, lord
Sing happy day, happy day, baby
Happy day, happy day, happy day
