A Happiness Sermon
Gloomy old Gus sure ain't my claim to fame
Upbeat and happy, they're my middle names
There sure ain't no future in promoting ill will
Every morning the sun still peeks over the hill
There's enough negativity in the world to go round
So let's not encourage this scourge with a frown
You've only got one life to live then it's done
So let's be remembered for promoting good fun
It may seem quite difficult for us to achieve
But it's never too late if we all still believe
Things will be better for our kids and their kids
If we just put our trust in the joy in our midst
In this happiness sermon I'm trying my best
Some say you'll never succeed in your quest
But I say to these nay sayers, listen my friends
No one's invincible so laugh till the end
