Lyrics

Joe's happy
He's got nothing
But he's happy

Ain't got no car
No woman
Lives in a shack
Barely has shoes
But Joe's happy
He sings the blues

Ah, he keeps it simple
Blue sky
Cool breeze
Big ol' smile
A little tease
Joe's happy

Sing it loud
Sing it strong
Sing about a love gone wrong
Sing it cool
sing it sweet
Sing the blues and let it move your feet

Fred's somebody, so they say
But nothing makes him happy

Lots of money
Man about town
Big ol' house but it's bringin' him down
Fred's not happy

Fred has a cadillac SUV
Lots of girls
People surround him, ready to say their his friends
Fred's not happy
Don't know why he don't sing the blues

Sing it loud
Sing it strong
Sing about a love gone wrong
Sing it soft
sing it sweet
Sing the blues and let it move your feet

Sing it loud
Sing it strong
Sing about a love gone wrong
Sing it soft
sing it sweet
Sing the blues and let it move your feet

Just goes to show
If you want to be happy
You gotta sing the blues
Sing it
Sing it loud
Sin it strong
Sing it cool
Sing it sweet
You gotta sing the blues
