about

This is a spoken word track featuring lyricist Tom Hannah about the scientific basis of happiness.

lyrics

Singing makes you happy and if you're in any doubt
You need to read the findings of a new report that's out
Researchers got some mice to sing The Londonderry Air
And after that the mice filled in a detailed questionnaire
Results were read and counted now they know how mice react
Singing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

The evidence is there to see
So if we find ourselves depressed
The science says that we
All must try (Ought )to do as they suggest.

Let's go out there and create
A golden universal fate
Those highly-educated people can't be wrong.

So sing, be happy
And now our vocal chords have twirled
We sing, get happy
Get busy building a better world
With a happy song.

Playing makes you happy this may come as some surprise
The world of work is deemed to be a refuge for the wise.
Some mice formed a Salsa band away from life's concerns
Some would spin on treadmills or they'd do their tax returns.
They thought that this was how they'd keep their self esteem intact
But playing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

El jugar te hace feliz
Es un hecho scientifico


Dancing makes you happy but perhaps you need some proof
Some get busy with their happy feet while some stand back aloof
They got one group of mice to dance and one they called control
They put some speakers in the cage and played some rock'n'roll.
The first group had that something that the other sadly lacked
Yes dancing makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

El bailar te hace feliz
Es un hecho scientifico

Loving makes you happy and according to research
The smiles belong to those in love not those left in the lurch
But I need to see the evidence and put it to the test.
So I took a stroll around the park to put my mind at rest.
And sure enough the lovers kissed and a little duckling quacked:
Loving makes you happy it's a scientific fact.

El amor te hace feliz
Es un hecho scientifico
