happiness is a cheeky so-and-so

happiness waking up in the morning
happiness happiness
find happiness in grandkids gladness
they keep you young and one on the way singing

happiness crowds queues laughing
happiness happiness
in your chest happiness overalls
I’ll assist you wrap it all in healing bringing

happiness the glugging sound of
happiness happiness
would you like a cup of
happiness? – the dog just smiled at me

(are we going up the dancers?)
