Otis Redding The Happy Song (Dum-Dum) lyrics

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

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

On a cold, rainy, windy night
She shut all the doors, she cut off the lights
She holds me and squeezes me tight
She tells me, "Big O everything's all right"

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
Come on now


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

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

Give you such a feeling, a lovely, lovely, feeling
Makes you wanna shout, it knocks you, knocks you out
Happy, happy songs, those good old lovely songs
Those sweetly nursery rhyme songs
Those good old lovely songs, those sweet soul music songs
Those good old lovely songs
