Well everybody got something on their mind
That they like to talk about
Well I got something that I'm proud of
And it's worth shouting about
Oh well I don't own a string of big fine cars
And I don't want no fancy yacht
Well I'm a telling you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hanging on to what I got
I got a girl with two brown eyes
And arms to hold me tight
And I don't care if the sun don't shine
And daylight turns to night
Well if a dollar bill is not worth a dime
And if the whole world goes to pot
Well I'm a telling you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hanging on to what I got
Well I'll not worry about the world
And what it's a coming to
Or if old Lady Jones has got a new hat
Or if the browns had turned to blue
Well if the London Bridge is a fallen down
Or if old Big Ben has stopped
Well I'm a telling you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hanging on to what I got
Oh well I don't own a string of big fine cars
And I don't want no fancy yacht
Well I'm a telling you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hanging on to what I got
Well I'm a telling you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hanging on to what I got
