Careful when someone tells you not to sing To leave your dreams For some other time Careful when someone tells you You shouldn't dance You should remain quiet, safe and dodging from a fight Ooh, you oughta be happy now Ooh, you oughta be happy now Careful when someone tells you not to dream To leave your fantasies and illusions For the day you die Ooh, you oughta be happy now Ooh, you oughta be happy now Ooh, you oughta fight for the right to be happy now Ooh... Beware of being afraid Beware of being swallowed by a shade Jump on the next plane Say hello for today Invite it for tomorrow Say goodbye to any sorrow Ooh, you oughta be happy now Ooh, you oughta be happy now Ooh, you oughta fight for the right to be happy now Ooh, you oughta fight for the right to be happy now Be happy now Be happy now Happy now Now
