Happy Just to Be Like I Am

by Taj Mahal

Lyrics
Ooh, happy just to be like I am
Doin' just the best I can
Workin' like a workin' workin' man
Baby, now ain't I?

Oh, the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
Everybody sing, happy day
People sing happy day
Happy days, happy days, happy days
Happy days, happy day

When you walk down that road
Keep just a pushin' on your load
It gets lighter as you go, I'm told
Baby, so they tell me

Now the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
And everybody sing, happy day
Sing happy day, sing happy day, children
Happy day, happy day, happy day
Sing happy day, sing happy day

When you look into my eyes
I dig it when you look in my eyes
Please, try my love for size
Baby, I will never hurt you

Oh, and the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
Everybody sing, happy day
Happy day, happy day, baby
Happy day, happy day, happy day
Yeah-yeah

Love you, yes, I do
Gonna give all my lovin' to you
If I did not have you what
What would I do?

'Cause the bells, they wouldn't ring
And no people, they wouldn't sing
I would not help nobody to sing
Happy day, to sing happy day, to sing happy day
Lord, happy day, happy day
Happy day, happy day-hey

Happy just to be like I am
Doin' just what I can
Workin' like a natural-natural man
Baby, now do I?

Oh, you know, the bells, they gonna ring
And the people, they gonna sing
Everybody sing happy day, sing happy day
Happy day, children, Lord, happy day
Happy day, happy day, happy day, happy day
Happy day, baby, happy day, happy day, happy day
