I'm just a happy fool
don't know that I'm s'posed to be miserable
takin' it as it comes
day by day
Market's in a free-fall
Cops yelling " Up against the wall!"
London is burning
(not Paris for a change)
yet the world keeps turning
think I'll go to the mall
Economy teeters on the brink
Ask the man in the street what he think
gas prices are through the roof
think I'll go out and have a drink
I'm just a happy fool
don't know that I'm s'posed to be miserable
takin' it as it comes
day by day
TV screamin'
'bout all that's wrong
and here's a new movie 'bout monsters
stay tuned for more doom and gloom
after these words from our sponsors
If you're gonna try to fly
then don your clean underwear
'cause the perverts now wear uniforms
and they'll be touching you "down there"
Folks are easily manipulated
we follow along like ants
one news story
after another
designed to make you crap your pants
Makes some folks wonder
why they should get up in the morning
but all I see
is a new day dawning
Ten years after and people gettin' jittery
'cause Al Qaeda's playing their games
turn it all off
save the aggravation
and your life will be the same
I'm just a happy fool
don't know that I'm s'posed to be miserable
takin' life as it comes
day by day
