Dinking Happy
Sung to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
If you’re happy and you know it,
give your brain a chance to blow it
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
Happy life will be wrecked in just a blink
You not only will regret it
You’ll have you to take the credit
if you stall your happy life in overthink.
If you play Pickleball, don’t overthink.
If you play Pickleball, don’t overthink.
Forget the power moves
And stay in Pickle-groove
Lay aside
that Alpha pride
and do the Dink!
