Let's Get Happy was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in Riga performed by Lou.
The song is an up-tempo number, with Lou exhorting her listeners to forget their troubles and "get happy and let's be friends". In the final, Lou and her five backing singers appeared in a colorful assortment of clothing. Lou wore a white jacket and trousers over a black top, along with a belt with a red fastener. Her two male cohorts appeared in suits, one in red and one in black. Her three female backing singers included a woman dressed in a black jacket and thigh-length boots, another dressed in a sleeveless green gown, and finally, a woman dressed in a sleeveless silver catsuit and platform shoes.
The song was performed 10th on the night following Cyprus and preceding Russia. At the close of voting, it finished in joint 11th place with 53 points.

(Doob doo doobn da dap da…)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…)
Whoa…
Last night in the discothèque
All my friends seemed to look and wait
Just lookin’ for trouble
‘Cause everything’s drivin’ ’em mad
(Yeah, drivin’ ’em mad)
No fun, not a smilin’ face
And down at heart in so many ways
Hey, baby, what’s on?
And why’s everyone so sad?
Let’s get happy and let’s be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let’s get happy and let’s be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…) Yeah, yeah…
(On that day, everything will be okay)
See the girl with the high heel shoes
I wanna know why she’s got the blues
Don’t ya stop a-rockin’
And get the ball a-rollin’ tonight
(Yeah, get the ball a-rollin’ tonight)
Everyone’s kinda cool and stressed
Gotta move, or you’ll miss the best
Whatever you do now
You just gotta do it right
Let’s get happy and let’s be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let’s get happy and let’s be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…) On a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…) We will be on our way
(Doob doo doobn da dap da…)
And we’ll have lots of fun together
(That’s right)
Let’s get happy and let’s be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let’s get happy and let’s be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day
(Let’s stop feelin’ sad and down)
(Let’s just take off from the ground)
Whoa… let’s get happy
