The TurtlesHappy Together Lyrics:
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight, so happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me loving nobody
But you for all my life
When you're with me, baby
The skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me loving nobody
But you for all my life
When you're with me, baby
The skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you and you for me
So happy together
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you and you for me
So happy together
So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
So happy together
So happy together
So happy together

1 "Happy Together" spent 3 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in the
spring of 1967, replacing The Beatles' "Penny Lane."
2 At the time of this recording the band lineup was: Howard Kaylan, born Howard
Kaplan (lead vocals), Mark Volman (lead & backup vocals, guitar, saxophone), Al
Nichol (lead guitar), Don Murray (drums), Chip Douglas (bass guitar) and Jim
Tucker (rhythm guitar).
A couple of interesting side notes:
The group originally called themselves, The Cross Fires from the Planet Mars,
but when they signed with White Whale Records, they changed their name to the
Tyrtles as a homage to the Byrds. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before they
discovered that people were struggling with the pronunciation of the name and
changed it again -- to the correct spelling of the word.
With the break-up of the Turtles in 1970, Kaylan and Volman joined the Mothers
of Invention (Frank Zappa's band) as "The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie," since the
use of the Turtles name (and even their own names) was prohibited by their
contract with White Whale. Flo & Eddie, as they soon became known, recorded
albums with the Mothers and later released a series of records on their own.
Frank Zappa claimed that his association with Kaylan and Volman was inspired by
a DJ's comment that Kaylan & Volman could make the Mothers as big as the
Turtles. "If you want to be as big as the Turtles, have a few Turtles in your
band," Zappa reportedly claimed. The collaboration with Zappa lasted until a
jealous fan attacked and seriously injured Zappa when the Mothers were
performing at the Rainbow Theatre in London in December 1971.
