Story Behind The Song
One morning as we awakened, I turned to my then fiance (now wife) Sheila. I greeted her with a big smile and spontaneously uttered these words: "Good Morning! I'm The Hamster of Happiness, drunk on Sunshine. My little hamster heart's so glad you're mine!"
When we finally stopped laughing, we knew it needed to be a song. It was done by lunchtime.

Lyrics
THE HAMSTER OF HAPPINESS
Copyright 1999, Alan C. Turin, Ph.D.
I'm The Hamster of Happiness, drunk on sunshine
My little hamster heart's so glad you're mine.
Ba boom ba boom ba boom ba boom, lub dub dub,
You're more fun than splashin' in the tub
I make my little wheel go round and round and
If I run real fast it makes a funny sound
I do it to impress you, and kinda make a pass
Then whoop! Ding! Dong, I fall down on the grass
Then I take your paw and we take a trip to the
enchanted Water Bottle drip drip drip
There's somethin 'bout that water on your lips
My happy hamster heart does happy hamster flips.
When I'm with you my life's more fun
It's more fun to play and more fun to run.
Play and run and fun fun fun
I'm one happy hamster son of a gun
I'm The Hamster of Happiness, drunk on sunshine
My little hamster heart's so glad you're mine.
Ba boom ba boom ba boom ba boom, we?re almost done
I'm one happy hamster son of a gun
