A boob who was rather naggy
Said to its mate we're too saggy
Without more support
I'm afraid dear cohort
We're nuts in pants that look baggy
I'm sick of being happy
why can't I just be sad
there's plenty in my flipin life
that should have made me mad
Folks who moan the whole day long
have all the bloody fun
why must I see the better side
of everything that’s done.
Oh I'm... sick of being happy,!
why can't I just be sad!
for only then could I enjoy
the life of fun I've had!
I want to be a naggy git
enjoy the things I hate
not find I love the silly things
that me should irritate.
I'd like for people passing by
to point at me and say
avoid the bugger if you can
he's nothing nice to say.
Oh I'm... sick of being happy,!
why can't I just be sad!
for only then could I enjoy
the life of fun I've had!
I think I must take lessons
to wipe the smile right of my face.
And learn to say the very things
that leave me in disgrace.
Occasionally I have some fun
and try to wear a frown
but even then I have to laugh
and act just like a clown.
Oh I'm... sick of being happy,!
why can't I just be sad!
for only then could I enjoy
the life of fun I've had!

Where's my Maggie?
She's not here...she's late
I'll try not to get naggy
Good you'll have to wait
Does she know I need her?
Yes and she of you
What am I going to do Sir?
Gee I wish I knew
...I don't care an Annies fine
O.K. whats going on here?
I just picked her to be mine
So why's the name unclear?
She's someone I'd like to be knowing
Oh thats it I see
What? Is my lonliness showing?
And you're crazy for talking to me

Cheerful or glum
