Lyric
Girl happy, yes I’m girl happy,
Girl happy, can’t you seeEvery girl I see looks good to me
What a crazy way out way to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well I’m Girl happy, yes I’m girl happy,
Girl happy, can’t you seeEvery time I see a pretty face
My heart just heads for outer space
I need a girl to make my life worth livin’
Yes, I’m Girl happy, yes I’m girl happy,
Girl happy, can’t you seeI’ve been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that ever rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Mama keep your daughter out of sight
I’m in a lovin’ mood tonight
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well I’m Girl happy, yes I’m girl happy,
Girl happy, can’t you seeI’ve been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that ever rocked my cradle made me jump for joy
Girl happy, well I’m girl happy,
Yes I’m girl happy, can’t you see
Girl happy, said I’m girl happy,
Yes I’m girl happy, can’t you see
