I've been a long, long way from here Put on a pawn show, played for mosquitoes And drank till I was thirsty again We went searching through thrift store jungles Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's corset and pants But okay, I made this up I promised you I'd never give up If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? You're down, the real low down You listen to Coltrane derail your own train Well, who hasn't been there before? I can drown around the hard way Put new comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread And serve you French toast again Okay, I still get stoned I'm not the kind of girl you take home If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? We've been far, far away from here Put on a poncho, laid for mosquitoes And everywhere in between We're okay, we get along So what if right now everything's wrong? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad?
