I've been long, a long way from here, put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,

We went searching, through thrift store jungles, found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G C
And Benny Goodman's corset and a pen

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
Am C G C/G G C/G
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
G C/G G C/G G C/G
You get down, real low down, you listen to Coltrane, derail your own train,
G C
Well who hasn't been there before?
G C/G G C/G G C/G
I come round, around the hard way, bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
G C
And serve you French toast again
