Happyman

This guy "Bob" hasn't worked for a year

Every day, every night he smokes out his fear

It makes him see things clearer and the hours go fast

He says "I wish they'd do this stronger so the high would last"

They're throwing out Rashid because they say he couldn't stay

He ain't got a job, he's not paying anyway

They're buying him a ticket and sending him home

"But home is here", he says, "and it's the only one I know"

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Mary down the block who can't pay the bills

She's got four kids because she keeps forgetting her pills

"I'm really sorry 'bout this" her former landlord claims

"But this is business as usual, there's no room for playing games"

Pete fixed a credit card and got himself a new day

"I was certain that the boss would let me stay"

Now his bookie's got him real heavy on the hook

"My microwave oven was the last thing they took"

My friend Jim is all down and he only wants to die

His girlfriend Lisa just left him for another guy

He says "I sit all day just waiting by the phone"

"A blue movie prevents me from feeling alone"

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

Oh, cuz I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

But me, I got myself a washing machine

Every day everything that I wear is really clean

My fridge is always full, you know, just in case

My VCR is programmable until thirty days

I have got four hundred CDs, what do you want to hear?

My stereo is adaptable to any kind of ear

Today is Friday, I'll have a steak and some wine

Because I'm a real Happyman, yeah I feel fine

I'm a Happyman

I'm a Happyman

I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

That's why, that's why, that's why, that's why

I'm a Happyman

Cuz I'm a Happyman

That's what I am, that's what I am

Cuz I'm a Happyman

I'm a Happyman, I'm a Happyman
