Do you see the man with the monkey in his hand?
He sings to him sweetly and calls him Sam
He's happy
So happy
And do you see the lady with the long black beard
It's her pride and joy, she's been growing it for years
She's happy
So happy
So may I caution you and say beware
Before you dare judge and stare
Cause everybody has to be something
It's a lot better than just being nothing
Everybody has to be something
Whatever makes them happy
We all know Mary, she has fifty cats
And all day long she is giving them baths
It makes her happy
So happy
And Arnold is a hermit, he gets lots of weird looks
Cause all of his friends well they live inside of books
But they make him happy
So happy
You never know what it takes
For someone to be glad in their own way
Cause everybody has to be something
It's a lot better than just being nothing
Everybody has to be something
Whatever makes them happy
We can see pieces of ourself
In the reflection of everyone else
So judging them is like judging yourself
Instead of just being happy
I know a lady who dances on her bed
Only she can hear the music cause it's in her head
But she's happy
So happy
So be as different as you want
It's even more fun than you thought
Cause everybody has to be something
It's a lot better than just being nothing
Everybody has to be something
Whatever makes them happy
Everybody needs to be something
It's a lot better than just being nothing
Everybody needs to be something
Whatever makes them happy
Whatever makes them happy
