Show me the way to Happiness Valley
Where there’s sunshine and laughter every day
Show me the way to Happiness Valley
Where a smile can chase heartbreak away

It’s a place in your mind
That’s not so hard to find
If somebody’s there to care, yeah

So, show me the way to Happiness Valley
‘Cos I’ve never been there before
Just give me the love I’ve been dreaming of
And you’ll open up the door
To Happiness Valley forever more
