Happy The Man — he lives a simple life
He doesn’t have much — it doesn’t worry him
Where you go — where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
Like a nun with a gun — I’m wonderful fun
Laughing all through — just watching you
Seems a very stupid game…
But I don’t care
Happy the man — he doesn’t buzz around
Nothing he wants — any more than anything
Where you go — where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
Like a fool in the pool — I’m incredibly cool
With a grin on my chin — I’m certain to win
Someone says he’s Jesus Christ — but I don’t care
He is a good man…
