Happyman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This guy "Bob" hasn't worked for a year Every day, every night he smokes out his fear It makes him see things clearer and the hours go fast He says "I wish they'd do this stronger so the high would last" They're throwing out Rashid because they say he couldn't stay He ain't got a job, he's not paying anyway They're buying him a ticket and sending him home "But home is here", he says, "and it's the only one I know" [Chorus] Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 [Verse 2] Mary down the block who can't pay the bills She's got four kids because she keeps forgetting her pills "I'm really sorry 'bout this" her former landlord claims "But this is business as usual, there's no room for playing games" Pete fixed a credit card and got himself a new day "I was certain that the boss would let me stay" Now his bookie's got him real heavy on the hook "My microwave oven was the last thing they took" My friend Jim is all down and he only wants to die His girlfriend Lisa just left him for another guy He says "I sit all day just waiting by the phone" "A blue movie prevents me from feeling alone" [Chorus] Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman [Saxophone Solo] [Chorus] Cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman Oh, cuz I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman [Verse 3] But me, I got myself a washing machine Every day everything that I wear is really clean My fridge is always full, you know, just in case My VCR is programmable until thirty days I have got four hundred CDs, what do you want to hear? My stereo is adaptable to any kind of ear Today is Friday, I'll have a steak and some wine Because I'm a real Happyman, yeah I feel fine [Chorus] I'm a Happyman I'm a Happyman I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman That's why, that's why, that's why, that's why I'm a Happyman Cuz I'm a Happyman That's what I am, that's what I am Cuz I'm a Happyman I'm a Happyman, I'm a Happyman [Fade Out]
