Oh, Happy Day
Composer(s): Gene de Paul - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Stanley Simmonds, George Reeder, Ralph Linn, Lehman Engel



Oh happy day when miracles take place, and scientists control the human race
When we assume authority of human chromosomes
And assembly line women, conveyor belt men
Settle down in push button homes
Oh happy day when all the cells conform, and the exceptional becomes the norm
When from a test tube we produce gargantuas or gnomes
And assembly line babies, conveyor belt storks
Only come to push button homes

So much o’this, so much o’that, for the ears and eyes
So much o’that, so much o’this for the toes and thighs
Pour in a pot, stir up a lot, that’s the basic plan
What have we got, I’ll tell you what – we’ve got man made man!

Oh happy day when we can choose their looks, from formulae in scientific books
And add their personalities from psychiatric tomes
And assembly line husbands, conveyor belt wives
Settle down in push button homes

Oh happy day when all the world can see, a healthy, hearty, hale humanity
When even tired bus’ness men have hair up on their domes
Slender-ella type mothers; and muscle beach dads  
Living in gymnasium homes
Oh happy day when in collective brains, no individuality remains
We’ll be a race of busy bees in happy honeycombs
With automaton couples, mechanical guests, getting gassed in self service homes

Chick after chick, chick after chick, rolling off the line
Chick after chick, chick after chick, in the same design
Nobody thin, nobody fat, every body stacked
We guarantee they’re gonna be firm and fully packed!

Oh happy day when boys and girls on dates, can tell electric’ly if they are mates
If he goes for her kilowatts and she enjoys his ohms
You can bet your magnetic, combustible shirt, they’ll wind up in high voltage homes
