Happy Town lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is shining and it won't go away
[Chorus]
I used to go up
I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
Happy Town
[Verse 2]
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 f*ck anymore, but we can really snuggle down
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is out and my whole world is beige
[Chorus]
I used to go up
I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
Don't get excited
But nor do I frown
The lawn is always neat in Happy Town
Happy Town
Happy Town
[Bridge]
To get to Happy Town you can call your doctor
You can unscrew the child-proof bottle cap
Pour yourself a glass of water
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is shining and it won't go away
[Chorus]
I used to go up
I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
Don't get excited
But nor do I frown
The lawn is always neat in Happy Town
Don't get excited
But nor do I frown
Life is just okay in Happy Town (Happy Town)
Happy Town (Happy Town)
Happy Town
