Happy People

[Intro: Dennis Edwards]

Get up - everybody!

[Chorus: The Temptations]

Happy people are we

Happy people are we

[Verse 1: Dennis Edwards]

Throw away your life long pain and follow, yeah

I'll take you to a land of peace and a new tomorrow, hey

[Pre-Chorus: The Temptations]

Brothers, sisters, come and take my hand

I will take you to a better land

Sunshine people love is all you bring

Dawn of a new day and here's the song we sing

[Chorus: The Temptations & (Dennis Edwards)]

Happy people are we (Well, well, well, well)

Happy people are we (Hey)

(Listen children, now)

[Verse 2: Dennis Edwards]

Don't believe in this troubled world

We can get higher (Higher)

Come on along and I'll take you there

Hey, listen to me now

[Pre-Chorus: The Temptations]

People, my people, let's party and get down

Life is for livin', now let's don't mess around

Dance to the music, throw your cares away

It's a song of hope and better days

[Chorus: The Temptations & (Dennis Edwards)]

Happy people are we (Everybody!)

Happy people are we

[Bridge: The Temptations]

Happy - happy

You and me both gotta be - happy

Everybody's gonna be - happy

Everybody's gonna be - happy

Brothers and sisters got to be - happy

Mothers and fathers got to be - happy

Everybody got to be

[Chorus: The Temptations & (Dennis Edwards)]

Happy people are we

(Get on up, get on up, let me hear ya)

Happy people are we

[Outro: The Temptations & Dennis Edwards]

Get up, get up - everybody

Happy - happy - Well, well, well, well

Happy - happy - Hey, everybody got to be

Happy - Get on up, get on up, let me hear ya

Happy - Get on up, get on up, let me hear ya

Happy - Well, well, well, well...
