Many Happy Returns

When I accepted this job

I was resigned to my fate

When I got there early

Shed arrive late

You can say shes gone forever

Or just sit tight and wait

She said I was unprincipled

That I was not the first

Like the phoenix coming back

From the ashes, uh-huh

I know whats good,

But I know what trash is

In the head-lights,

In the highlights of her hair...

Hit the head lines

But she's not there:

Many happy returns

Many happy returns

These are the lessons I could have learned

Return. many happy returns

And these are the letters I should have burned

Okay, I'm sad, not blue

Okay, remember

All that matters to me now

Is the message I sent her

Like the world, spinning round

On its axis, uh-huh

I know democracy

But I know whats fascist

When she's gone, all I got to learn

Is the law of diminishing return

When shes here, one thing I've found

Things get better second time around

Many happy returns

Many happy returns

These are the lessons I could have learned

Return. many happy returns

And these are the letters I should have burned

Okay I'm sad, not blue

Okay, remember

All that matters to me now

Is the message I sent her

Now she's gone, she's gone away

Now she's gone forget her

Coming back another day

If youd only let her

Now she's gone, she's gone away

But she's gone forget her

Coming back another day

So why resurrect her?

Many happy returns

Many happy returns

These are the lessons I could have learned

Return. many happy returns

And these are the letters I should have burned
