Pere Ubu - Not Happy lyrics

rate me

Can't we be happy?

Can't we be happy like the swimming turtles?

Can't we be happy like the bumble bees on the River Tees?

When they buzz they buzz in harmonies!

Can't we be happy like them?

I wanna know

I am happy when you are happy,

and you are happy when I am happy,

so let's be happy!

Can't we be happy?

Can't we be happy like the tiny mice?

Can't we be happy like the oddball birds of South

America?

The oddball birds of South America are happy

Can't we be happy like them?

I wanna know

I am happy when you are happy,

and you are happy when I am happy,

so let's be happy
