I say, I say - today I'm on an up up upper
Tomorrow I'm down
Today I'm all right and I'm proper
Tomorrow I'm why, why
Yesterday I was switched on
Today I'm turned off
Yesterday I was someone
Tomorrow I'm not

Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo in a spin spin spin
Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo on a string string string

Have you heard the one about me
I'm high and mighty
And then I'm knocked out
Whenever I'm Little Miss Smiley
Later I'm crying loud
Yesterday I was waving
Today I'm all drowned
One morning I cave in
Another I'll bounce back

Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo in a spin spin spin
Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo on a string string string

Doctor doctor she said to me
- knock knock
'I can see why you're here, dear
But I've got 20 minutes
To cure all your woes and your ills
Pop pills, head shrinks, quit drink
I can prescribe for you'
Can this 7.20 really beat my moods? 

High, high, 
Low, low,
Happiness versus Sadness, oh!

High, high, 
Low, low,
Happiness versus Sadness, oh!

Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo in a spin spin spin
Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo on a string string string

Happiness versus sadness
I'm like a yo-yo in a spin spin spin
