[Verse 1]
Oh, there are days when skies are grey,
And everything goes wrong.
When I start yelling, "Go away!",
And people say, "So long!".
When everything's in disarray,
I'm right where I belong.
When fun's away on holiday,
This Grouch must sing this song.
[Chorus]
I'm sad because I'm happy,
And I'm happy 'cause I'm mad,
And I'm mad 'cause it sounds sappy,
To be happy,
When you're sad.
[Verse 2]
Yes, there are days when skies are grey,
And all the world looks yucky.
When clouds and rain won't go away,
The road I'm on turns mucky.
My feet splash in the mud and hay.
My toes get wet and gucky.
Yes, everything just goes my way.
I feel so gosh darn lucky!
[Chorus]
I'm sad (He's sad),
Because I'm happy (He's happy),
And I'm happy (He's happy),
'Cause I'm mad (He's mad),
And I'm mad (He's mad),
'Cause it sounds sappy,
To be happy,
When you're sad.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm sad (He's sad),
Because I'm happy (He's happy),
And I'm happy (He's happy),
'Cause I'm mad (He's mad),
And I'm mad (He's mad),
'Cause it sounds sappy,
To be happy,
When you're sad.
