Happy Doesn't Have To Have An Ending

They Might Be Giants


Hip hip hippy hippy me today

I'm a long-haired hippie kitten
I'm on a secret mission
I've got a message for the people of the world:
You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
Don't stop the good times when they start!
Come on now!

You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
Remember this before we part:
You've got to sing out loud when the music starts
You've got to shake your tail when you hear this part (come on now!)

I'm a long-haired hippie kitten
I'm on a secret mission
To make a valentine for everyone on Earth
I'm sitting in my window with my kitten arms akimbo
My paw is tired from this valentines' work

Gavotte's a kind of dance and
It really comes from France and
It's like a minuet but moderately fast
Other cats come around here just to
Gavotte with me and you too
Put to rest the rumors that a hippie cat can't dance!

You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
You've got to make room for too much fun
Come on now!

You've got to know Happy doesn't have to have an ending!
We've got the stars, we've got the sun

You've got to smile a while when it feels all right
You've got to jump around, and we'll dance all night! (come on now!)

Hip hip hippy hippy me today, Happy hippy hippy me today,
Boom! I'm coming out of my room.
Hip hip hippy hippy me today, Happy hippy hippy me today,
Boom! I'm coming out of my room.
Hip hip hippy hippy me today, Happy hippy hippy me today
Got a valentine for Mr. Peter Tork.
Got a delivery for Mr. Peter Tork.
Hip hip hippy hippy me today, Happy hippy hippy me today
