Mr DJ play me a happy song.  
I want one about livin’ not dyin’,  
about lovin’ not lyin’.  
Something with smiles not cryin’,  
so please Mr DJ, play me a happy song. 
 
I don’t want anything  
that mentions heartaches and pain,  
or about losers in loves game.  
I don’t want to hear about sadness and tears,  
or about regretting those years. 
 
Play me a happy song,  
how love can be eternal,  
or about dancing in the moonlight.  
A nice romantic tune  
about a candle lit dinner for two,  
but no more sad songs, please.
