A Little Bit of Happiness
A little bit of happiness
(A little less) A little less sadness
(A little bit) A little bit of both these things
Are gonna happen, overnight
(I said, a little bit) A little bit of tenderness
(A little less) A little less bitterness
(A little bit) A little bit of all these things
Will make this world all right
Well, my Dad, he was a preacher
And he'd go from town to town
Well, he'd open up the Good Book
And the folks would gather 'round
Well, he'd a-look right at these people
And break into this song
And a-when the verse was over
He asked them all to sing along
A little bit of happiness, yeah
A little bit of happiness
(A little less, now) A little less sadness
(A little bit of both these things) A little bit of both these things
(You know) are gonna happen, overnight
(A little bit of tenderness) A little bit of tenderness
(A little less bitterness, now) A little less bitterness
(A little bit of all these things) A little bit of all these things
Will make this world all right
Well, the lines were very simple
But so much a-meaning in those words
And when he died, I promised
His words would still be heard
Well, I am not a preacher
But, I do know right from wrong
And the same goes for a lot of folks
I mean, the ones who've heard this song
A little bit of happ'ness, yeah!
A little bit of happiness
(A little less sadness, now) A little less sadness
(A little bit of both these things) A little bit of both these things
(You know, you know) are gonna happen, overnight
(A little bit of tenderness) A little bit of tenderness
(A little less bitterness, now) A little less bitterness
(A little bit of all these things) A little bit of all these things
Will make this world all right
Let me hear you, a little bit of happiness, yeah!
A little bit of happiness
(A little less sadness, now) A little less sadness
(A little bit of, oh, both these things) A little bit of both these things
(You know) are gonna happen, overnight
(A little bit of tenderness) A little bit of tenderness
(A little less bitterness, now) A little less bitterness
(A little bit of all these things) A little bit of all these things
Will make this world all right
(A little less) A little less sadness
(A little bit) A little bit of both these things
Are gonna happen, overnight
