Lyrics The Staple Singers – Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha–Na–Boom Boom)
Text:
Ahh, whoa, great gosh, a mighty
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Say it, y’all
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
(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)
(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)
