I woke up happy and I'm not sure why The rain is falling from a sunny sky It lands in puddles on the kitchen floor Through a brand-new hole in the roof I’m sure The dog is hungry and the cats want more. My organic farming had a business plan With pretty labels on my candied yams The crops have failed, and the well is dry I’m having a drink while the chickens die The truck is broke and the car won't start The barn is leaning, I can't sell my art The sows are rooting in the last few plants What’s left of my garden hasn’t got a chance I should be grumpy with all this bad luck With my soggy kitchen and my garden muck But I'm still giddy in my ***** clothes With my last tomato tween my piggy toes I got running water in the kitchen now Every time it rains it'll wash the sow And clean the dust off my broken car I got no fruit to put in cans or jars I'm just plain happy and sleeping underneath the stars.

Why am I Happy?
I woke up happy and I'm not sure why The rain is falling from a sunny sky It lands in puddles on the kitchen floor Through a brand-new hole in the roof I’m sure The dog is hungry and the cats want more. My organic farming had a business plan With pretty labels on my candied yams The crops have failed, and the well is dry I’m having a drink while the chickens die The truck is broke and the car won't start The barn is leaning, I can't sell my art The sows are rooting in the last few plants What’s left of my garden hasn’t got a chance I should be grumpy with all this bad luck With my soggy kitchen and my garden muck But I'm still giddy in my ***** clothes With my last tomato tween my piggy toes I got running water in the kitchen now Every time it rains it'll wash the sow And clean the dust off my broken car I got no fruit to put in cans or jars I'm just plain happy and sleeping underneath the stars.
