Act Two Musical Numbers - Happy

‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams

PARIS sings.  During the song we see ROMEO and JULIET in bed

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take away
I'm a hot air balloon, I could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

(CAPULET, LADY CAPULET, SERVANTS, NURSE join in with backing vocals)

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

(SINGERS and rest of company do the ‘yeahs’ at the end of each line)

Here come bad news talking this and that
Yeah, give me all you got, don't hold back
Yeah, well I should probably warn you I'll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don't waste your time
Here's why

(Backing vocals as before)

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

GIRLS sing ‘Happy’ and boys do the ‘ugh’ backing vocals, later layer in lots of backing vocals

CAPULET:

(Happy), bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down

LADY CAPULET:
Love is too (happy) to bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down, I said nothing

ROMEO:

Bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down

ROMEO and JULIET
Love is too happy to bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down
I said

PARIS sings lead, rest do BV

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

ROMEO and JULIET take over lead vocals as the scene transitions

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Because I'm happy
