Today I Feel So Happy - 1931

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Feb 2002

There's a happy feeling ev'rywhere,
the world's a brighter place.
What has happened to my load of care?
It's vanished into space.
I can only see a sky of blue
where dark clouds used to be,
is this happiness for others, too,
or only just for me?

Today I feel so happy!
So happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.
I've got no thoughts to spare for
the why or the wherefore!
When I stroll out folks stare,
for I gambol like a lamb.
Walking on air, never a care,
something is making me sing
Tralalala Tralalala
like a little bird in Spring.
Today I feel so happy,
so happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.

Today I feel so happy!
So happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.
Tho' things were gloomy lately
they've altered so greatly;
I now can't walk sedately,
I gambol like a lamb.
What is this thing?
Why do I sing?
Tralalalalalala!
Why do I go Vodeodo,
Boopaboop and wawawa!
Today I feel so happy,
so happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.

There has never been a day so bright
in his'try since the Flood;
for the atmosphere of sheer delight
has go into my blood.
I've a cheery smile for those I meet
wherever I may go.
I go singing down the busy street
to let the whole world know.

Today I feel so happy!
So happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.
I've got no thoughts to spare for
the why or the wherefore!
When I stroll out folks stare,
for I gambol like a lamb.
Walking on air, never a care,
something is making me sing
Tralalala Tralalala
like a little bird in Spring.
Today I feel so happy,
so happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.

Today I feel so happy!
So happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.
Tho' things were gloomy lately
they've altered so greatly;
I now can't walk sedately,
I gambol like a lamb.
What is this thing?
Why do I sing?
Tralalalalalala!
Why do I go Vodeodo,
Boopaboop and wawawa!
Today I feel so happy,
so happy, so happy!
I don't know why I'm happy
I only know I am.
