I wake up every morning to the sound of birds

It's really not birds it's my neighbor's TV

She watches talk shows all day long

I used to hate her but now we get along

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray

And now the sun is shining and it won't go away

I used to go up

I used to go down

Now I'm just even here in happy town

Happy town

My boyfriend Bob he said I made him miserable

But we stayed together 'cause the sex was really good

And then he packed his bags with me to happy town

We don't fuck anymore, but we can really snuggle down

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray

And now the sun is out and my whole world is beige

I used to go up

I used to go down

Now I'm just even here in happy town

I don't get excited

But nor do I frown

The lawn is always neat in happy town

Happy town

Happy town

To get to happy town you can call your doctor

You can unscrew the child-proof bottle cap

Pour yourself a glass of water

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray

And now the sun is shining and it won't go away

I used to go up

I used to go down

Now I'm just even here in happy town

I don't get excited

Nor do I frown

The lawn is always neat in happy town

Happy town

Happy town

I used to go up

I used to go down

Now I'm just even here in happy town

I don't get excited

Nor do I frown

Life is just OK in happy town

Happy town

Happy town
