[Verse 1]
There's a place where everyone can be happy
It's the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world
It's made of candy canes and planes and bright red choo choo trains
And the meanest little boys, the most innocent little girls
And, you know, I wish that I could go there
It's a road that I have not found

Just drop a card or letter to my side of town
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend
But baby, I'm amazed at the hate that you can send
[Chorus]
And you painted my entire world
But I don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled
And I won't forget it
[Verse 2]
There's a place where everyone can be right
Even though you remain determined to be opposed
Admittance requires no qualifications
It's where everyone has been, and where everybody goes
So please try not to be impatient
For we all hate standing in line
And when the farm is good and bought, you'll be there without a thought
And eternity, my friend, is a long fucking time
[Pre-Chorus]
As there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend
But baby, I'm amazed at the hate that you can send
[Chorus]
And you painted my entire world
But I don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled
And I won't forget it
