Came across this a little late, but I put up a more complete version of the lyrics on my site. They're a bit long to repost here - I like a lot of space in my lyrics. Hope this helps! http://disneytourreviews.com/the-muppets-lifes-a-happy-song-lyrics/

So, I spent some time over Thanksgiving weekend transcribing it for guitar. I decided to take out the dialogue section (and thus Mary's verse) and just go to the end for my own purposes. With two key changes, I found it easiest to Capo 1 - you only have to play in C# for two lines this way, otherwise it's C and D - fairly easy for guitar. We'll see how it translates into the forum screen when I cut and paste...(Well, it took out the spacing of the chords, but at least you get the right chords per line; listen a couple times and you'll figure out when to make the changes.)


Life’s a Happy Song – The Muppets (2011 Movie), transcribed by Erin Joy Swank

Capo 1​

C Dm7
Everything is great, everything is grand
C/E F
I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
C Dm7
Everything is perfect, it’s falling into place
C/E F
I can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face
C Am7 Dm7 G C – c b (walk the bass line down)
Life's a happy song when there’s someone by my side to sing along

Am7 Dm7 Am7
When you’re alone, life can be a little rough
Dm7 G Am7
It makes you feel like you’re three feet tall
Dm7 Am7
When it’s just you, times can be tough
Dm7 G C
When there’s no one there to catch your fall

C Dm7
Everything is great, everything is grand
C/E F
I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand
C Dm7
Everything is perfect, it’s falling into place
C/E F
I can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life smells like a rose - with someone to paint and someone to pose
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s a piece of cake - with someone to pedal and someone to brake
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life is full of glee - with someone to saw and someone to see
C Am7 Dm7 G C
Life's a happy song when there’s someone by my side to sing along

C Dm7 C/E F
I’ve got everything that I need right in front of me
C Dm7 C/E F
Nothing’s stopping me, nothing I can’t be with you right here next to me

C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s a piece of cake - with someone to give and someone to take
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s a piece of pie - with someone to wash and someone to dry
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s an easy road - with someone beside you to share the load
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life is full of highs - with someone to stir and someone to fry
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s a leg of lamb - with someone there to lend a hand
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life’s a bunch of flowers - with someone to while away the hours
C Am7 Dm7 G
Life is a fillet of fish - hey… Yes it is
C Am7 Dm7 G C
Life's a happy song when there’s someone by your side to sing along

The song is really wonderful. This is one of the best writings by The Muppets, and is sung by the singers Gary, Walter and Mary that is always my favorite song wish to hum . It is some what become more joy with the chorus of other Smalltown, USA residents. Though the song is reprised at the end of the movie by the entire cast , It was always noticeable and like to share with my friends.

I thought I heard Wayne Newton at the end of the song."When there's someone by your side to sing" is the line I heard

MINOR SPOILER; That was Mickey Rooney
