  • It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say
    Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
    I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
    With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

    Huh, because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

    Here come bad news, talking this and that
    (Yeah) Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back
    (Yeah) Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine
    (Yeah) No offense to you, don't waste your time
    Here's why

    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

    Hey, come on, uh
    Bring me down, can't nuthin' (happy)
    Bring me down
    My level is too high to bring me down (happy)
    Can't nuthin', bring me down (happy)
    I said, let me tell you now, unh (happy)
    Bring me down, can't nuthin', bring me down (happy, happy, happy)
    My level is too high to bring me down (happy, happy, happy)
    Can't nuthin' bring me down (happy, happy, happy)
    I said

    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

    Come on, unh bring me down can't nuthin' (happy, happy, happy)
    Bring me down my level is too high (happy, happy, happy)
    Bring me down can't nuthin' (happy, happy, happy)
    Bring me down, I said

    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you, eh eh eh
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
    Because I'm happy
    Clap along if you know what happiness is to you, eh hey
    Because I'm happy
