The HappyCow Song
As a long-time vegan, I've used the HappyCow app countless times to help me find vegan restaurants and markets while on the road or just around town. In my view, HappyCow is an absolutely indispensable app for people trying to eat vegan and plant-forward diets. It lists restaurants that are 100% plant-based, and also any restaurant that has a vegan or vegetarian option on the menu, and includes reviews, menus, directions, open hours, and everything you need. It's truly an invaluable resource.
​
So, I wrote this song as a thank you gift to HappyCow for all the help over the years! Please check out their app and web site at HappyCow.net, and become part of the Happy COWmunity, changing the world for future generations!
​
And if you're inspired by the song and the app, feel free to make your own reel on Instagram or TikTok, with the song as background music (just search up "The HappyCow Song" and it should come up, adding "Charity and the JAMband" if need be). And then tag @happycow and @charitykahn. We'd love to amplify your creations!

Love,
Charity (aka Charity and the JAMband)

VERSE 1
When you’ve got a lot of zeal for a really good meal

When you’re in the mood for some yummy vegan food

When you’re traveling around the world with your taste buds unfurled

When you need tips and tricks on how to get your vegan fix
(HappyCow, wow)

When you wanna eat, drink and be merry
You need HappyCow, HappyCow

What you gonna do, what you gonna do
What you gonna do, you’re gonna ask HappyCow
