Happy Song version #1

By Shane MacGowan

Whenever I'm feeling scared now
'cause there's too many nicks in this town
Whenever I get so angry
'cause everyone's pushing me round
Whenever I'm feeling crazy
And everything is going wrong
I sing a happy song

Well I don't care about nothing
I got no reason to cry
I got no reason for living
And I got no reason to die
Can't kick my way out of a paper bag
And I don't know what is going on
I sing a happy song

I'll go down to the centre of town
I wanna burn everything to the ground
Everybody is messing around
Everything is a breakdown

I don't care, 'cos I know what I am
Situations nowhere, but I don't give a damn
Everybody's gonna be happy
I believe in the human race
I wear a happy face

Have a nice day!

I don't care, don't know what I am
Situations nowhere, but I don't give a damn
And I can't kick my way out of a paper bag
And I don't know what is going on
I sing a happy song

It goes like this
Bababa...

Sing a happy song
Happy mods, happy hippies
Always stoned, always tripping
Ian Pais says good boys win
But I can only live by sin
Ian Pais says wear a suit
Keep your pockets full of spending loot
Everything's gonna be all right
When we go for a dance on Friday night
They're happy
Sing a happy song
I'm so happy I could cry

(Thanks to Tom O'Dea for filling in the gaps. He thinks that 'Ian Pais' is Ian Paisley).
