            Some folks think happiness comes from how much stuff we own
            A brand new car, a swimming pool and a million dollar home
            Yeah, some blow half their paycheck out looking for a good time
            But that thing called happiness can be so hard to define

                  If you wanna be happy, then watch children when they play
                  If you wanna be happy, listen to what old folks have to say
                  If you wanna be happy, spread around a little love today
                  'Cause when we give, we get more of what we want, anyway

            Some folks stand in line for hours just to buy the latest thing
            Some spend a fortune on flowers and a big ol' diamond ring
            Some will try about anything, looking for something to blow their mind
            But what will make us happy, sometimes seems so hard to find

                  If you wanna be happy, then watch children when they play
                  If you wanna be happy, listen to what old folks have to say
                  If you wanna be happy, spread around a little love today
                  'Cause when we give, we get more of what we want, anyway

            You know, we value life, liberty
            And the pursuit of happiness
            But it seems like children are so much easier
            To please than the rest of us

                  If you wanna be happy, then watch children when they play
                  If you wanna be happy, listen to what old folks have to say
                  If you wanna be happy, spread around a little love today
                  'Cause when we give, we get more of what we want, anyway
                  Yeah, when we give, we get more of what we want, anyway
