[Verse 1]
I've been a long
Long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searchin'
Through thrift store jungles
Found Geranimo's rifle, Marylin's shampoo
Benny Goodman's corset and pin

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, okay, 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
Why the hell are you so sad?

[Verse 2]
You get down
Real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Who hasn't been there before?
I come 'round, yeah
'Round the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kinda girl you take home

[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
Can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
Can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Why the hell are you so sad?

[Instrumental Break]

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
Can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Why the hell are you so sad?
Oh, if it makes you happy
Can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Why the hell are you so sad?

[Outro]
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
