Happy       
             
Hit it! 
This ain't no disco 
It ain't no country club either 
This is LA! 

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die," 
Says the man next to me out of nowhere 
It's apropos 
Of nothing 
He says his name's William but I'm sure, 
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy 
And he's plain ugly to me 
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole 
life 
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday 
In a bar that faces a giant car wash 
The good people of the world are washing their cars 
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing 
As best they can in skirts in suits 

They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks 
Back to the phone company, the record store too 
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause 

[Chorus] 
All I wanna do is have some fun 
I got a feeling I'm not the only one 
All I wanna do is have some fun 
I got a feeling I'm not the only one 
All I wanna do is have some fun 
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard 

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning 
And Billy likes to peel the labels 
From his bottles of Bud 
He shreds them on the bar 
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack 
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers 
before blowing and cursing them out 
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on 
the floor 

And a happy couple enters the bar 
Dangerously close to one another 
The bartender looks up from his want ads 

Chorus 

Otherwise the bar is ours, 
The day and the night and the car wash too 
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty 
cars 
The sun and the moon but 

Chorus
