Jill Sobule › Lyrics › Happy Town

I wake up every morning to the sound of birds
It's really not birds; it's my neighbor's TV
She watches talk shows all day long
I used to hate her but now we get along

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is shining and it won't go away
I used to go up, I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
Happy Town

My boyfriend Bob he said I made him miserable
But we stayed together 'cause the sex was really good
And then he packed his bags with me to Happy Town
We don't f*** anymore, but we can really snuggle down

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is out and my whole world is beige
I used to go up, I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town

I don't get excited, but nor do I frown
The lawn is always neat in Happy Town
Happy Town, Happy Town

To get to Happy Town you can call your doctor
You can unscrew the child-proof bottle cap
Pour yourself a glass of water

I used to sit under a gloomy cloud of gray
And now the sun is shining and it won't go away
I used to go up, I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town

I don't get excited, nor do I frown
The lawn is always neat in Happy Town
Happy Town, Happy Town

I used to go up, I used to go down
Now I'm just even here in Happy Town
I don't get excited, but nor do I frown

Life is just okay in Happy Town
Happy Town
Happy Town
