My entry into the latest "Masters Of Song Fu" contest is up on their site, ready and waiting expectantly for your vote.
It's a happy little ditty featuring uke, yobstick, synth (the old Crumar Performer string synth) and shaker. Comments on it so far include 'dystopian joy', 'sounds like toads playing tiny tin digeridoo' and 'there's something ominous here'!
Lyrics and chords are as follows:-
Happy People
============
[Chorus]
G
When you are happy
C
it makes me happy
G
to see you happy
D
to see me
When I am happy
You say it makes you happy
to see me so happy
to see you
[Verse]
Dm
We're happy people
Gm
We're happy people in a happy
Dm
World, we're happy people
Gm
Happy people in a happy
Dm
World. We're happy people.

We're happy people in a happy
Dm
World, we're happy people
C
~Chorus~
C Bb A
Apparently my joi de vivre's getting on your wick
My natural exuberance is making you feel sick
Your grumpy face just makes me want to laugh
Even when you're drowning me for singing in the bath
G A7 Bb6 A7
So turn that frown upside down, smile, your face won't crack
I'll keep on singing happy songs 'til I receive a smack, because...
~Chorus~
~Verse~ (rinse and repeat)
