Lyrics Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom Boom) - The Staple Singers

Ahh, ooh, good gosh, you're mighty now

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Say it, y'all
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Tell me, tell me, tell me, c'mon
(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 make you happy
I just got to say
Put on your heavy
If I can feel this way
I'll be new man now

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
C'mon now
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Do it, 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 (spread a little heavy)
It makes somebody sing (makes somebody sing)

(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Tell 'em all, y'all say
(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 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) bring it down
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
Bring it all up
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)

Oh, take it higher
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
I wanna go
(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah) say it, say it, say it

(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-na-na-boom boom, yeah)
(Sha-na-boom boom, yeah)
