[Spoken Intro]
Ayo, this one is goin' out to my man Shaw
In other words silly, y'all
Yeah, we still hustlin' overtime, baby
Well, well, well
Yeah
You know it's been a long time, a mighty long time
But happy days are here again, y'all, ha
Listen up

[Verse 1]
People say I'm the life of the party
Because I live the way that I do
But they don't know what it's like to be Bobby
The pressure has me so confused
I live my life the way I want
'Cause God has given me that choice
But I had to find out the hard way
That nothing from nothing leaves nothing
But there's just one thing that I gotta say
It's a brand new day

[Chorus]
Happy days are here again (Happy days)
Happy days are here again (Yes, they are here again)
Happy days are here again (Happy days)
Happy days are here again (Yeah, come on)

[Verse 2]
Now that things are so much better
I have found out life is worth so much more
And you can't take life for granted
'Cause you don't know what life has in store
But there's just one thing I gotta say
It's a brand new day

[Chorus]
Happy days are here again (Yeah, yeah, yeah, here again)
Happy days are here again (Happy days are here again)
Happy days are here again (Well, well, here again)
Happy days are here again (Alright, y'all, come on)

[Bridge]
Yeah
You are now listening to the sounds of the Mad Mob and Bobby Brown, y'all
Yeah, come on
It feels good, don't it?
It feels good, don't it?
Alright y'all, come on
Said happy days

[Chorus]
Happy days are here again (Happy days are here again)
Happy days are here again (Well, well, ha, happy days)
Happy days are here again (Here again)
Happy days are here again (Ayo, do me a favor)

[Verse 3]
Happy as it gets, no shit, I gets lit
Oh, look it here, another B. Brown platinum hit
You didn't think he was coming back?
But yet, still keep comin' back with the real
Son, you keep your mic on and be on up
So ball with the Brown, or get that ass outta town
(Yeah, kid, you know how we doin' it for the nineties)
Yo, I forgot, B, remind me

[Interlude]
Yeah, hahaha, yeah
Listen, said happy days

[Chorus]
Happy days are here again (Happy days are here again)
Happy days are here again (Well, well, come on, y'all)
Happy days are here again (Here again)
Happy days are here again (Ayo, man, peace)
Happy days are here again
Happy days are here again
Happy days are here again
Happy days are here again
