Lyrics

Gonna 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 squeeze 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 ought to 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 Give you such a feeling A lovely, lovely, feeling It makes you wanna shout It knocks you, knocks you out Happy, happy songs Those good old lovely songs Those sweet nursery rhyme songs Those good old lovely songs Those sweet soul music songs Those good old, good old songs
