Pack up your troubles and just get happy

Ya better chase all your cares away

Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

Get ready for the judgment day



The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy

The Lord is waiting to take your hand

Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

We're goin' to the Promised Land



We're headin' 'cross the river

Gonna wash our sins in the tide

It's all so peaceful

On the other side



Forget your troubles and just get happy

Ya better chase all your cares away

Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

Get ready for the judgment day



The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy

The Lord is waiting to take your hand

Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

We're goin' to the Promised Land



We're headin' 'cross the river

Wash our sins away in the tide

It's all so peaceful

On the other side



We're headin' 'cross the river

Wash our sins away in the tide

It's all so peaceful

On the other side



Forget your troubles and just get happy

Ya better chase your cares away!!

Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

Get ready for the judgment day
