"Love Is A Happy Thing / Country Of Man" lyrics

Love is a happy thing
Love is a happy thing
Everybody
Love is a happy thing
It gives the loggers a song they can sing
It puts the bean right back in the green
Love is a happy thing
Love is a happy thing

I started out in 1954
"What the hell was it all for?"
He asked himself why
"What the hell an I gonna do now
Drink gin all night or fight?"
He says this, he says that
Why should I believe any of it?

I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying down on their hands
I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying, dying instead

Later on in 1955
Charlie was working the Roosevelt, so was I
"What the hell am I gonna do now
Raise these kids or leave the wife?"
He says this, he says that
Why should I believe any of it?

I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying down on their hands
I'm living in the country of man
I seen 'em lying, dying instead

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh
Buh, buh, buh, buh

And the president says:
"Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh"

The premier replies:
"Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh
Buh, buh buh, buh, buh"

Then the papers say:
"Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh
Buh, buh buh, buh, buh...
