Check what´s on T.V. Hand me another beer It tastes so pleasing I´m just so happy here Are you aware, yes you must realize These are such happy times My reflection looks back at me from the gleam in my shoes Trendy died hair hangs down in my eyes These are such happy times and there is always something to do We´ve had some fun, babe But I´ve run out of cash Can´t you stop scratching? We can´t afford no stash Remember the lows help you notice the highs These are such happy times Watch as the paint on the wall peels and falls to the floor Everyone knows that a man doesn´t cry These are such happy times Why then are your bags sitting by the door? Go on and go, just leave all of this It´s a diamond in the rough A friendly abode in a gay neighborhood I´ll never get enough Of sleeping alone with my back to the wall It´s nice to feel safe Just look at the sky, the sun´s shining down You can see it through the haze Here in the city Everyone loves this town I´m not being witty The guys really get around When we´re on the prowl out painting the town These are such happy times Loneliness is just a state of mind that isn´t real Riding in the back of a rented Cadillac There are such happy times If everything went wrong it´d be no big deal These are such happy times We´re having such happy times
