You Bet Your Sweet Bippy
Happiness comes in many forms
Remember the thrill of your first born
How could you have known at the time
The challenge of keeping things in line
Sometimes seemed too much to bare
Many obstacles, more than your share
Finally you make it all the way through
Hard to replace that joy you knew
Now life's taken on a whole new look
Your zest for living's like an open book
A positive attitude goes a long long way
To help you through the darkest of days
Don't let gremlins get under my skin
Tell them. “Get lost, I won't give in!”
It can seem like the Himalayas at times
Stop and think, is it worth the climb?
You bet your sweet bippy it is, my friend
There's nothing more rewarding in the end
Than a life all filled with laughter and joy
Just like Christmas and brand new toy
Happiness comes in many forms
Try making “happy” your everyday norm
Life's done and over way to soon
Live it to the fullest, sing happy tunes!
