I'm Sad Because I'm Happy Lyrics - Sesame Street

Oh there are days, when skies are grey 

And everything goes wrong 

When I start yelling, "Go away!" 

And people say, "So long!" 

When everything's in disarray 

I'm right where I belong 

When fun's away on holiday 

This grouch must sing this song 

I'm sad, because I'm happy 

And I'm happy, 'cause I'm mad 

And I'm mad, 'cause it sounds sappy 

To be happy when you're sad 

Yes there are days when skies are grey 

And all the world looks yucky 

When clouds and rain won't go away 

And the road I'm on turns mucky 

My feet splash in the mud, and hey, 

My toes get wet and gucky 

Yes everything just goes my way 

I feel so gosh-darn lucky! 

(The Grouch Choir joins in) 

I'm sad, because I'm happy 

And I'm happy, 'cause I'm mad 

And I'm mad, 'cause it sounds sappy 

To be happy when you're sad 

Oscar: Everybody sing! 

(sung in grand style) 

I'm sad, because I'm happy 

And I'm happy, 'cause I'm mad 

And I'm mad, 'cause it sounds sappy 

To be happy when you're sad 

(spoken, with music still playing) 

Oscar: Ah, I wish every day was like this! 

Grungetta: Ah, me too, Oscie! 

Oscar: Well, if wishes were garbage trucks, grouches would ride. 

Grungetta: So true, so true! 

Oscar: Let's just enjoy the moment. Yeah.
