Testi Hip To Be Happy - Ann Hampton Callaway

Hip To Be Happy

You can walk around life\nWith a cloud over your head\nFeelin' glum, feelin' numb\nThinkin' it’s cool to be discontented\nThat ev’rything is demented\nYou’re gonna feel sad\nLife’s gonna be bad\nAnd ev’ry single morning\nYou’ll wake up feeling bereft\n'Cause your get-up-and-go got up and left\nCHORUS\nBut ('Cause) don’t you know that it’s\nHip to be happy\nTo give life a big hello\nIt’s hip to be happy\nTo say yes when the world says no\nIt’s hip to be happy\nThe light is green\nCome on, let’s go!\nYes, the fashion police\nAre gonna slap you with a fine\nIf you’re depressed and overdressed\nWearin' a chip upon your shoulder\nIt makes you look older\nWhat’s with the pout?\nBaggage is out\nAccessorizing is an art\nYou must acquire to make a catch\nSo put on a smile with shoes to match\nCHORUS\nAll you artists out there\nMust especially beware\nDon’t be bought by the thought\n«You must suffer for your creation»\nPain’s not a vocation\nForget the abyss\nAnd follow your bliss\nThe cutting off of ears\nIs not a great-art-guarantee\nIt was good for Van Gogh but not you and me\nCHORUS\n'Cause don’t you know that it’s\nHip to be happy\nTo give life a big hello\nIt’s hip to be happy\nTo say yes when the world says no\nIt’s hip to be pealing with laughter\nIt’s hip to be grinning ever after\nIt’s hip, inspite of it all\nIt’s hip to be happy!
