If It Makes You Happy

I've been long, a long way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes And drank till I was thirsty again We were searching through thrift store jungles Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's corset and pen Well okay, I made that up I promised you I'd never give up If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? You get down, real low down You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train 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 you'd bring home If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? We've been long, a long away from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes And been everywhere in between Well okay, we get along But what if everything was all wrong? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? Why the hell are you so sad?
