 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

It starts in the morning
When you're lying next to me
I'm rolling, I'm rolling
I'm rolling so quickly
Now I'm not a doctor
And I'm not a lawyer
I get a prescription and set it on fire
Blow me a kiss
I'll be happy for the rest of my life

[Chorus]
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
Oh, oh, aw
And I'm so happy

And I really shouldn't like it
But I love it
When I say I'm not excited
You're invited
And I think I'm getting older
There's this weight across ma shoulder
Its a shame we're the same
Such a shame I'm to blame all the time

But early this evening
I wanted to be with you
I got on the blower
The next thing I know you're speaking
Now I'm gonna tell you what I've been thinking
And I've got a hunch that you're thinking the same thing and with some luck
We'll be lying together tonight

[Chorus]

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah
And I'm so happy
