Happy Lyrics by RuPaul

Foxy Lady

1996

[Intro]
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah
Everybody wants to be loved
And everybody wants to be happy

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time there was a little bitty girl
Sitting in her room with no love in her world
Thinking what to do with the rest of her life
Mama said, "Girl, it's gonna be alright"

[Chorus]
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be

[Verse 2]
People on the street, people watching TV
Thinking they can buy what they really, really need
Can't find it at the mall, search the seven seas
You can't even get it at Givenchy

[Chorus]
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be

[Breakdown]
Happy
Yeah, yeah
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
I'm gonna show you the way
Everybody

I want to be, got to be
I want to be, got to be
I want to be, got to be
I want to be, got to be

Happy, happy, happy, happiness
Happy, happy, happy, happiness
(Everybody)
Happy, happy, happy, happiness
Happy, happy, happy, happiness

[Chorus]
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah
Got to be happy
Yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be
Everybody wants to be

[Outro]
Everybody wants to be loved
Everybody wants to be respected
And everybody
And I do mean everybody
Wants to be happy
Alright
