You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?

If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
