Have a Happy

download

(Weisman / Fuller / Kaye)

Information:
Elvis recorded Have a Happy at the Decca Recording Studios in Universal City, California, on March 5 or 6, 1969, for his film Change of Habit. The song was composed by Ben Weisman, Buddy Kaye and Dolores Fuller.

Lyrics:

Now once it was told to me we're born with a magic key
It opens the door to miracles of spring
It takes you to wishing wells, to ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key won't unlock a thing
Unless you have a happy, you have a happy
Mmm, have a happy, warm smiling face
Now start believin' in believin', let your address be sunshine place
There's love and there's joy I'm told
Much more than your heart can hold
It's there like the ring you would grab on a merry-go-round
The world isn't half as grey with friends on a rainy day
But people keep away when you wear a frown
You've got to have a happy, you have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
Mmm, start believin' in believin'
Let your address be sunshine place
Let your address be sunshine place
Let your address be sunshine place
