"Happy The Man" lyrics

Genesis Lyrics

"Happy The Man"

Happy the man – he lives a simple life
He doesn't have much – it doesn't worry him
Where you go – where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere

Like a nun with a gun – I'm wonderful fun
Laughing all through – just watching you
Seems a very stupid game…
But I don't care

Happy the man – he doesn't buzz around
Nothing he wants – any more than anything
Where you go – where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere

Like a fool in the pool – I'm incredibly cool
With a grin on my chin – I'm certain to win
Someone says he's Jesus Christ – but I don't care

He is a good man
He is a good man
He is a good man
He is a good man
He is a good man
He is a good man

Happy the man – he doesn't buzz around
Nothing he wants – any more than anything
Where you go – where?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere
