Heavy Makes You Happy (sha-na-boom Boom) Lyrics - The Staple Singers

Ahh, whoa--great gosh a mighty... 

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah) 

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)
