Happy The Man - he lives a simple life

He doesn't have much - it doesn't worry him

Where you go - where?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere



Like a nun with a gun - I'm wonderful fun

Laughing all through - just watching you

Seems a very stupid game...

But I don't care



Happy the man - he doesn't buzz around

Nothing he wants - any more than anything

Where you go - where?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere



Like a fool in the pool - I'm incredibly cool

With a grin on my chin - I'm certain to win

Someone says he's Jesus Christ - but I don't care



He is a good man
