[Intro / Chorus John Shuttleworth, Ken Worthington & Both]
How To Be Happy In A Sad Sad World!
It's incredibly easy (And to tell you will please me)
(Will it Ken? Go tell us then)
Go for a stroll with your arm around a lassy
Have a quick snack in a [?] lake cafe!
How To Be Happy In A Sad Sad World!
[Verse 1 Mary Shuttleworth, John Shuttleworth & Ken Worthington]
Off you go Mary
How To Be Happy In A Sad Sad World!
It's deceptively simple, Unlike popping a pimple!
(That's right, it can be quite tricky, sometimes)
(It can!)
[Chorus 2 John Shuttleworth, Ken Worthington & Both]
Visit a friend in a home or a hospice
Go to a zoo and say [?] to the ostrich
How To Be Happy In A Sad Sad World!
[Verse 2 John Shuttleworth, Mary Shuttleworth & Ken Worthington]
You should be thankful for your lot
The friends and the neighbours you have got!
But what if you live in Sarajevo, John?
Fortunately Ken, we do not!
[Chorus 3 John Shuttleworth, Mary Shuttleworth & Ken Worthington]
Go caravan in Clwyd or Dyfed!
Order a pizza and have it delivered
How to be happy in a sad, sad world!
How to be happy in a sad, sad world!
How to be happy in a sad, sad world!
[Chorus 4 John Shuttleworth, Mary Shuttleworth & Ken Worthington & All]
How to be happy in a sad, sad world!
It's to know that it's not really a sad
Sad, world!
[Outro]
It's not is it?
No, it's not
It's a nice world
It is, yes
For most people
