Big Dumb Fat and Happy

Copyright 2013
Dan Pelletier

I have always had this little hunger in my soul
This little aching need deep down in myself
Which at times was worse than others
But no matter where I was
I was always kinda wondering “what else?”

But lately I do find I’ve got this growing peace of mind
I don’t worry about the future or the past
‘Cause for the first time in my life
I am big dumb fat and happy
I am big dumb fat and happy at last

Friends who know me well, well I guess that they can tell
‘Cause they ask what’s put that bounce back in my step
What’s put that gogo in my mojo, what’s put that jumbo in my mumbo
What’s put that little swivel in my hip?

What do you suppose has put this twinkle in my toes
What’d you think has made my heart so light?
‘Cause for the first time in my life
I am big dumb fat and happy
I am big dumb fat and happy tonight

Your love made me wonderful, yours and yours alone
Your love took me round the world your love brought me home

I’ve got this friend named Herman he is cute and round and German
And the happiest man I’ve met in my life
And if you ask him what’s the reason for his always sunny season
He will tell you it’s his sweet and loving wife
Now I know it’s no competition, but I’ve got my own rendition
And I’ll sing my happy song with all my might
‘Cause for the first time in my life
I am big dumb fat and happy
I am big dumb fat and happy all right
For the first time in my life
I am big dumb fat and happy so go on you can call me Herman tonight

Call me Herman, call me Herman
Call me Herman, call me Herman
Call me Herman, call me Herman
Call me Herman, call me Herman

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, if you’re happy and you know it
If you’re happy and you know it like me!
