Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
You already know the song
[Verse 2]
About the horse drawn politicians
Marchin' in a Hollywood line
With a gun and a picture of Nixon
Singin' get me to the war on time
[Verse 3]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that's been walkin' barefoot
Already knows the song
[Verse 4]
Ring around a beggar man
Freeloadin' off of the state
He could work if they wanted to
Isn't California great?
You know it is too
[Verse 5]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 6]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 7]
What if you were picnicin' out in the country
You take off your shoes and your shirt
But the sun won't get through to burn you
'Cause the air's too full of dirt and that's why everybody's sing
[Verse 8]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
Sing, oh
[Verse 9]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 10]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 11]
Couple more just come on in now
Never have enough gettin' ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
I like to sing
[Verse 12]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Well, one of the reasons, but anyhow
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 13]
Never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 14]
Never have enough gettin' ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
Already knows the song
[Verse 15]
I got to say that, never have enough, been ready
That's why it took me so long
Everybody that feels happy inside
