"If It Makes You Happy (triple j Like A Version)" lyrics

I've been long, a long way from here
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Okay, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?

Get down, real low down
Listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come around, around the hard way
I bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again

Okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of guy you'd take home

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?

I've been far, far away from here
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between

Okay, we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?
