Co-written with Ben Dolansky, who supplied most lyrics and the original concept of the 'radio needs more happy songs'.

lyrics

1~ They’re always singing sad songs!
'bout people going wrong.
Having a fight,
Staying out all night
I don’t really like those songs
The ending's never right.

2~The oughta sing more glad songs
With people getting along
Remember that old song, about
Falling in Love?
That’s the kind of song I like
Together hand in hand.

(give me)
CH~ Happy Songs
where people get along
They hug, they kiss
they marry and have kids.
That’s the way life usually is, so
Give me Happy Songs.

BR~I’m getting tired of all the bad
(gimme) Love! Love! Love!
Give me sanity back
Happy faces, Hugs and kisses
That’s what the world is really missing....

3~I dream of a world with no sad songs.
People getting along
There is peace in sight
No trouble or strife
Come and dream along with me
Sing a song of love (and give me)
