Someone shared this song with me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvAgZG1HJDs

Unfortunately my German isn't good enough to understand more than the odd word here or there, but I think it has a very catch tune.

When I have time I will try and translate it all.

So far I think it goes:

Today is a good day.....

Here are the German lyrics, followed by the translation, Katharine.

[Songtext zu „Guten Tag, liebes Glück“]

[Strophe 1]
Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein
Steht das Glück vor der Tür, dann lass' ich es rein
Guten Tag, liebes Glück, schön dich zu seh'n
Kaffee oder Tee? Du willst doch nicht gleich wieder gehen
Ich bleib' auch entspannt, halt dich nicht fest
Denn ich weiß, dass du bleibst, wenn man dich lässt
Was verschafft mir das Glück? Eins ist ja klar
Frag mich nicht, wie es mir geht, denn du warst ja nicht da

[Refrain]
Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein
Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein
Deswegen kommst du mir gelegen
Wird auch langsam Zeit

[Strophe 2]
Nun sitzt das Glück schon so lang auf der Couch
Ich fühl' mich sehr wohl, doch dann denk' ich „Autsch“
Langsam kommt das schlechte Gewissen
Werden andere das Glück jetzt nicht vermissen?
Ich kann doch nicht sagen, es sollte nun geh'n
Das Glück im Haus zu haben, ist doch sehr schön
Ich bin ganz verblüfft von der Situation
Vielleicht bin ich verwöhnt, doch was macht das schon, denn—

[Refrain]
Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein
Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein
Deswegen kommst du mir gelegen
Mir war das gar nicht klar, doch jetzt sehe ich ein
Heute ist ein guter Tag um glücklich zu sein
Wenn's bliebe, mir zuliebe
Wird auch langsam Zeit

[Instrumental]

[Refrain]
Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein
Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein
Wird auch endlich Zeit

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

[Lyrics to "Guten Tag, liebes Glück"]

[Verse 1]
Today is a good day to be happy
When happiness is just around the corner, I'll let it in
Hello, dear happiness, nice to see you
Coffee or tea? You don't want to leave right away
I'll stay relaxed too, won't hold you tight
'Cause I know you'll stay if they'll let you
What does happiness give me? One thing is clear
Don't ask me how I'm doing, because you weren't there

[Chorus]
Today is a good day to be happy
Today is a good day to be happy
That's why you're convenient for me
It's about time

[Verse 2]
Now happiness has been sitting on the couch for so long
I feel very comfortable, but then I think "ouch"
Slowly, the guilty conscience comes
Won't others miss happiness now?
I can't say it should go now
It's very nice to have happiness in the house
I am quite baffled by the situation
Maybe I'm spoiled, but what does it matter, because—

[Chorus]
Today is a good day to be happy
Today is a good day to be happy
That's why you're convenient for me
I didn't realize it at all, but now I see a
Today is a good day to be happy
If it stayed, for my sake
It's about time

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Today is a good day to be happy
Today is a good day to be happy
It's about time
"You can't change history as that won't change the future"

I think The Pipkins must have been a one-hit band.
When Albert Hammond toured here some years ago, he performed this song. I didn't know he had written it until he announced it. He wrote a lot of songs for other artists. Never thought I'd see it performed live!
