Lyrics
(Bouncy and playful)
Wake up in the morning, put on a big, bright smile,
Everyone’s so happy, let’s be happy for a while!
Sing a little song, dance a little dance,
But sometimes in my heart, I don’t feel like I have a chance.
Chorus:
(Cheerful but with a hint of sadness)
I’m so happy, happy, can’t you see?
Happy as a bumblebee!
I’m so happy, happy, every day,
But deep inside, I don’t feel that way.
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Smiling wide, from here to the sky!
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Happy face, but I don’t know why.
Verse 2:
(Light and rhythmic)
Everyone’s laughing, playing silly games,
But sometimes I feel different, like it’s just pretend.
Let’s all sing together, clap our hands to the beat,
But when the song is over, I feel incomplete.
Chorus:
(Repetitive and catchy)
I’m so happy, happy, can’t you see?
Happy as a bumblebee!
I’m so happy, happy, every day,
But deep inside, I don’t feel that way.
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Smiling wide, from here to the sky!
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Happy face, but I don’t know why.
Bridge:
(Simple and reflective)
Underneath my smile, there’s a little frown,
Sometimes I feel up, but mostly down.
If you look real close, you might see,
A little bit of sadness inside of me.
Chorus (x2):
(With a childlike echo)
I’m so happy, happy, can’t you see?
Happy as a bumblebee!
I’m so happy, happy, every day,
But deep inside, I don’t feel that way.
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Smiling wide, from here to the sky!
La-la-la, la-la-la,
Happy face, but I don’t know why.
Outro:
(Soft and lingering)
Happy, happy, let’s all sing,
But sometimes happy feels like a dream…
