Temptations, The - Happy People Lyrics






Get up
Everybody
Happy people (I'm feeling good) are we (Well)
Happy people are we

Throw away your lifelong pain and follow
Yeah, ha
I'll take you to a land of peace and a new tomorrow
Hey, hey

Brothers, (Well) sisters, come and take my hand. (Take my hand.)
I will take you to a better land
Sunshine, laughter, love is all you bring
Start off a new day and here's the song we'll sing

Happy (Happy) people are we
Well, well, well, well
Happy (Happy) people (Happy people) are we
Hey, hey. Listen, children now

Don't believe in this troubled world
We can get higher, higher (Higher)
Come along and I'll take you there
Hey, dum, dum, dum, now

People, my people, let's party and get down
Life is for living, now let's not mess around
Dance to the music, (Uh huh) throw your cares away (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pizza, soda, hold them in your hand (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Happy (Happy) people are we
Everybody happy, happy
Happy people are we

Happy
Happy
You can make the whole party happy
Everybody's got to be
Happy
Everybody wants to be
Happy
Brothers, sisters got to be happy
Happy
Mothers, fathers want to be happy
Happy
Everybody got to be

Happy (Happy) people are we
Get on up, get on up. Let me hear you
Happy (Happy) people (Yeah) are we
(Happy, happy)

Get up, get up
I'm in the mood, yeah
Everybody
Happy
Happy
Well, well, well, well
Happy
Dum, dum, dum, dum. Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
(Happy) Hey, everybody wants to be
Happy
Get on up, get on up, let's hear it
Happy
Get on up, get on up, let's hear it
Happy
Well, well, well, well

  14. D.... ....

    …a change in their music, funky sound …a lil touch of the O’ Jays… not feeling it though 4 Temptations✔️…

    D.... ....

    I think it's more Sly and the Family Stone than the O'Jays (although one might say that the O'Jays are also like Sly).

  15. I.... B....

    Great classic......

  20. 2.... ....

    this album was off the hook i was 13 when this came out i rushed down to the local record store to get this as soon as i heard this song

  21. R.... M....

    The beginning sounds awsome

  22. G.... T....

    It's The Commodores playing behind the Temp. They are not credited on the albu , but if you listen the song "Superman" from the "Machine Gun" album in 1974, you can hear the exact groove.

    G.... T....

    that's the commodores singing the musicians are Eddie hazel, Billy Nelson, Ollie Finch, and Donald Baldwin and a few others and yes Eddie, Billy and Ollie played on the commodores and wasn't credited

    G.... T....

    Gary Tyson Lionel Richie wrote and produced this song

    G.... T....

    Actually, the "Superman" groove you hear is a sample from the Commodores, not the actual Commodores playing. If you listen closely, you notice that it is lower fidelity than the rest of the song. "Sampling" wasn't digital at that time.

  23. c.... e....

    billy nelson kills the bASS HE TAUGHT BOOTSY SOME TRICKS.

  24. N.... A....

    Dennis Edwards for ever

  25. C.... S....
