[Verse 1]
Gonna sing this song, y'all
Singin' it for my baby
She's the only one can bring me joy
That's why I sing these happy songs

[Chorus]
They go dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Come on now, happy song, happy song now

[Verse 2]
On a cold, rainy, windy night
She shut all the doors, she cut off the light
She holds me and squeeze me tight
She tells me, "Big O, everything's all right"

[Chorus]
And I go dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Play it again, dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Do it again, dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Come on now, those happy songs, happy, happy songs

[Bridge]
Come on
Bring my breakfast to the table
When I go to work she knows I'm able
Do my job, I come back in
You oughta see my baby's face, she just grins, grins, grins
[Outro]
I go dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum, dum
Play it again, dum, dum, deedle-dee, dum
Sing them happy songs
Lovely, lovely songs
Sweet soul songs
Those good old happy songs
It gives you such a feeling
A lovely, lovely feeling
It makes you wanna shout
It knocks you, knocks you out
Happy, happy songs
Those good old lovely songs
Those sweet nursery rhyme songs
Those good old lovely songs
Those sweet soul music songs
Those good old, good old songs
Happy, happy songs
