When I sing this song y'all   Singin' it for my baby   She's the only one can bring me joy   That's why I sing these happy songs      They go, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Come on now happy song, happy song now      On a cold rainy, windy night   She shut all the doors, she cut off the lights   She holds me and squeezes me tight   She tells me Big O everything's all right      And I go, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Play it again, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Do it again, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Come on now, those happy songs, happy, happy songs   Come on      Bring my breakfast to the table   When I go to work she knows I'm able   Do my job, I come back in   You oughta see my baby's face, she just grins, grins, grins      I go, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Play it again, dum, dum, deedle dee, dum dum   Sing them happy songs, lovely, lovely songs   Sweet soul songs, those good old happy songs      It give you such a feeling, a lovely, lovely feeling   And makes you wanna shout, it backs you, knocks you out   Happy, happy songs, those good old lovely songs   Those sweetened nursery rhyme songs      Those good old lovely songs   Those sweet soul music songs   Those good old, good old songs
