Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom-Boom) - The Staple Singers

Say it, y’all

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Well, well

(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

I’ve been trying to find what’s heavy that’s been messing up my mind

I think I found the answer, 'cause it was right there all the time

Heavy makes you happy, I just got to say

Put on your heavy, if I can’t feel this way

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Come on, come on

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Do it, do it, do it, do it

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

By talking to my people, you know that it occurred to me

It’s more than just a feeling--it's a philosophy

Heavy makes you happy, drying up your drink

Oh, spread a little heavy and it makes somebody sing

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Come on, y’all

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Right on, right on, right on

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

A little bit softer, now

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Oh, do it easy, now

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Lay it on down

(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)
