[Verse 1]
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found King Diamond's upholstery, Melle Mel's Jheri curls
And Paul McCartney's master tapes
(We got the tapes)

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, O.K. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

[Verse 2]
We get down, real low down
Listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Now who hasn't been there before?
I've come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics and bread, scrape the mold off my head
And make you French toast instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, O.K. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of jerk you'd take home

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, O.K. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

[Outro]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
