Don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter
There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought the whole world could be
And I thought we'd be happy ever after.
You could say that I'm living in a pipe dream
It's just looking back, things are never what they seem
And I hope I can safely say
And I hope most things go my way
And I hope they'll be happy ever after.
Down in Southern Africa no happy ever after
Not now, but soon forever
While they're sitting comfortably
In that white winter city
How can we be happy ever after?
Um by yay
Est ce le South Africa
So don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter
There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after.
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought that maybe you and me
And I thought we'd be happy ever after.
Um by yay
Um by yay
Um by yay
Est ce le South AfricaWell you think there's a problem with your sink
But your baby been lookin' in the pink
I said your drain been clogged for quite a while
But there's something new in your baby's smile
I said piss and moan you know its a bummer
Yo baby's been sleepin with your plumber
Na Na Na Na Na.....
Yeah, you bought a new truck and it goes real fast
Said your baby brought it in for a little bit of new crank shaft
She's been taking it back now every week
She like to hear your shock absorbers moan and squeak
I said everybody's laughing, they think its a panic
Yo baby's been sleepin with your mechanic
Na Na Na Na Na
You took her to a club she said she's never been to
'Cause you thought it might be a nice thing to do
But you saw she was up to the same old game -
When the whole band knew her first, last, and middle name
I said you're pissed off 'cause you didn't see
Yo baby slept with everybody including me
Na Na Na Na Na....
