I've been long a long way from here Put on a poncho played for mosquitos And drank til I was thirsty again We went searching through thrift store jungles Found Geronimo's rifle Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's corset and pen Well o.k. 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    are you so sad        You get down real low down You listen to Coltrane derail your own train Well who hasn't been there before? I come round around the hard way Bring you comics in bed scrape the mold off the bread And serve you french toast again Well o.k. 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    Then why the hell are you so sad We've been far far away from here Put on a poncho played for mosquitos And everywhere in between Well o.k. 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   are you so sad
