Happy As Larry lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


[Verse 1: Larrikin Love]
On September first 2003, I was softly touched by a warm summer breeze
There were blue tits flocking and swerving
My accuracy, well it's quite unnerving
I stole into a burnt orange field, which once was green but lost its zeal
To prance and dance and sing around, which is not condoned in the centre of town
And as I crunched those crispy leaves, I walked towards a shaded tree
To find a young girl lying there, drifting off without a care
Her face was covered by a straw hat, happy as Larry and all of that
Well I shouted out to wake her up, she was skipping school in the burning hot

[Chorus: Larrikin Love]
And as I tried to get her to speak
I realised that the little girl was not asleep
I moved her hat to find that her face was grey
Her knickers wrapped around her ankles
It's not funny!

And as I tried to get her to speak
I realised that the little girl was not asleep
I moved her hat to find that her face was grey
Her knickers wrapped around her ankles
It's not funny!

[Verse 2: Plan B]
There's a breah called Larry following a girl called Annie
Walking down a dark alley that leads to a park where Sally
A mate of Annie's who must be late said she'll meet her at the gate
But she ain't there and Annie's scared
Cause now she's aware that Larry's there
She don't wanna walk through the park at night, but Larry's in the alley and it's dark alright
So all she can do is go that way and hope that Larry is a girl or gay
Cause true-say she can't see who it is, if she could she'll be losing her sh*t
Running like nobody's business cause Larry's little head is full of thoughts of sickness
And all he wants to do is grab little Annie and screw the life out of her literally
He ain't evil he's the epitome, the epitome
And now he's closing in where the park bench stop and the trees begin
No conscience just a sleazy sin, women don't slip so easily in
[Bridge: Larrikin Love]
Children, Please beware!
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
Children, Please beware!
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
'Happy as Larry' and all of that

[Verse 3: Plan B]
Annie ain't dreaming
He's grabbed her but Annie ain't screaming
Cause he's gagged her, wielding a knife, saying he's gonna stab her
If she tries running away she'll get a dagger, straight through the heart
But this ain't love It's rape and murder straight, blud
Ain't dripping from his knife, that's not how he takes her life
Larry says, "b*tch get in touch with nature."
f*cking sick c*nt laughs as he rapes her, rapes her, rapes her
Hands over mouth he suffocates her
Takes her life away
Takes her life away
Takes her life away
Takes her life away

[Chorus: Larrikin Love]
And as I tried to get her to speak
I realised that the little girl was not asleep
I moved her hat to find that her face was grey
Her knickers wrapped around her ankles
It's not funny!
And as I tried to get her to speak
I realised that the little girl was not asleep
I moved her hat to find that her face was grey
Her knickers wrapped around her ankles
It's not funny!

[Verse 4: Plan B]
There's a guy called Barry, looking for Larry
Walking down the same alley that leads to the park where Annie
The daughter of Barry that was gagged and raped
When she went to meet Sally her so-called mate
Her so-called mate who said she'd wait
Said she'd meet her at the gate
But weren't there, and now Barry knows why Barry knows Larry knows Sally cause Si
Short for Simon a policeman Barry knows from back when he was a fireman
Let it slip that Sally was the b*tch that Larry used as bait
To find girls and become their mates and set them up to get f*cked and raped
He said, "There'll be no justice if we left it to the system, so if you want justice
Don't say a word my friend just listen
Larry's meeting Sally in the park at 8pm, when it gets dark
Take this gun and wear this mask, Ddo it right - make it fast"

[Bridge: Larrikin Love]
Children, Please beware!
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
Children, Please beware!
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
[Verse 5: Plan B]
Barry's waiting in the alley with his gun and his balaclava
Thinking 'bout the way Larry took away Annie from her father
He wants to end this c*nt's life, teach him about karma
A bullet straight between the eyes, and one for his b*tch after
Sally's there now he can see her waiting, there's a guy at the top of the road waving
At Sally, that's Larry it's blatant
Barry moves fast down the alley to the pavement
Two bullets to make their heads cave in
One each to teach them 'bout taking life; Yes life is God's for taking
But this body's godforsaken

[Bullet shots and screams]
