Happy the Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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, 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
[Verse 2]
Happy the man, he doesn't buzz around
Nothing he wants, any more than anything where you go, where?
Yeah, yeah, 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
[Chorus]
He is a good man, he is a good man
He is a good man
He is a good man, he is a good man
He is a good man
[Verse 3]
Happy the man, he doesn't buzz around
Nothing he wants, any more than anything where you go, where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
