H-A-P-P-Y Lyrics > Grand Hotel

H - A - P - P - Y Why
why am I so happy, when I play the Charleston
D - A - N - D - Y Why
Why do I feel dandy, when I dance the Charleston?
Come do the new beat, sweeping through the old world
Warming up a cold world Harlem to China
What began in Charleston is now done in London
ev'rywhere from Ku'damm to Paris
To Pittsburg to Peking
to Charleston in South Carolina
