VERSE 1:
I been a long - a long way from here
Put on a poncho
and played for mosquitoes
And drank til I was thirsty again

We went searchin
through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo’s rifle
Marilyn’s shampoo
And Benny Goodman’s corset and pen

Well okay - I made this up
I promised you I’d never give up

CHORUS:
If it makes you happy
it can’t be that ba - a-a-ad
If it makes you happy
then why the hell are you so sad?

VERSE 2:
You get down - real low down
You listen to Coltrane
derail your own train
Well who hasn’t been there before?

I come round - around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed
scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again

Well okay - I still get stoned
I’m not the kind of girl/guy
you’d take home

DOUBLE CHORUS:
If it makes you happy-y
it can’t be that ba - a-a-ad
If it makes you happy-y
then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy-y
it can’t be that ba - a-a-ad
If it makes you happy-y
then why the hell are you so sad?

[INTERLUDE]

VERSE 3:
We’ve been far - far away from here
Put on a poncho - played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between

Well okay - we get along
So what if right now, everything’s wrong?

OUTRO CHORUS:
If it makes you happy-y
it can’t be that ba - a-a-ad
If it makes you happy-y
then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy-y
it can’t be that ba - a-a-ad
If it makes you happy-y
then why the hell are you so sad?
