Get up, everybody

Happy people are we
Happy people are we

Throw away your lifelong pain and follow, yeah
I'll take you to a land of peace and a new tomorrow, hey

Brothers, sisters, come and take my hand
I will take you to a better land
Sunshine people, love is all you bring
Dawn of a new day and here's the song we sing

Happy people are we (well, well, well, well)
Happy people are we (hey)
(Listen, children, now)

Don't believe in this troubled world
We can get higher (higher)
Come on along and I'll take you there

People, my people, let's party and get down
Life is for livin', now let's don't mess around
Dance to the music, throw your cares away
It's a song of hope and better days

Happy people are we (everybody)
Happy people are we

Happy, happy
You and me both gotta be (happy)
Everybody's gonna be (happy)
Everybody's gonna be (happy)
Brothers and sisters got to be (happy)
Mothers and fathers got to be (happy)
Everybody got to be

Happy people are we
(Get on up, get on up, let me hear ya)
Happy people are we

Get up, get up, everybody
Happy, happy (well, well, well, well)
Happy, happy (hey, everybody got to be)
Happy (get on up, get on up, let me hear ya)
Happy (get on up, get on up, let me hear ya)
Happy (well, well, well, well)
