Happy Sing-A-Long Song

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (5-3-02)

Well I keep getting told that I’m depressing

Why don’t you write a cheerful song

Why do you dwell on the dark side of things

I’ve been thinking to much and too long

So I won’t sing about the wars around us

Not a word about people in misery

Not a verse or a chorus about death or dying

No, you won’t hear any of that from me

From now on I’m gonna sing about sunshine

And going out all the day long

I’ll throw in some la las and some na na nas

And sing a happy sing-a-long song

I think I’ve stumbled on to something good

Why didn’t I think of this before?

Go check your heart back at the door

And they’ll be hollering for more, more, more

Can’t sing about states killing killers

Thinking that justice will come with more death

Won’t mention the power the few have over the many

That’s one thing that I better forget

Cause it get in the way of all the good times

And we don’t want them all to be gone

So I’ll turn away and I’ll close my eyes

And sing a happy sing-a-long song

I’m gonna change my tune and it’s about time

People at the sports bar don’t wanna hear about all the world’s crimes

Guess I better go and change – change my act

Stop playing that liberal bleeding heart crap

No more tree hugging crap no no

La la la la la na na na

Na na na na na na na

La la la la na na na na

La la na na na na na

I’m gonna turn over a brand new leaf

While ignoring the rest of the dying tree

I’m not gonna care about this world anymore

No I’m just thinking about ME

And not about the evil government

That keeps the poor under its thumb

No more singing about recycling or the enviroment

Cause thinking about such things is so dumb

I’m gonna sing about flowers and puppies now

no more tunes about things that are wrong

Yeah I’m finally gonna go and lighten up

and sing a happy sing-a-long song

La la la la la la la na na na

A happy sing-a-long song
