The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I’m like Stevie Ray Vaughn on the stage High on music Teeth grinding Sweating under the lights But then my boss calls and she’s crushing me with a twenty-ton weight Just like in Monty Python Somebody left on the sink, it’s still running My eyes are gonna overflow (happy hour) I need happy hour on sad days (on sad days) I need happy hour I can’t wait (can't wait) I’m like Ponce de Leon Sailing on a ship for the new world Checking out the birds and flowers Let’s chill out on this island, I’ve been sucking on a lime and coconut (coconut, coconut, coconut) I think I could stay here for the rest of my life Please don’t ever make me go home I need happy hour on sad days (on sad days) It’s my happy hour I can’t wait (can't wait) Maybe I’ll meet a scientist in sweatpants and a hair tie We’ll conversate about ghetto birds and midi keyboards Then we’ll slow dance Head on my shoulder Swaying back and forth and My friends look on and smile Everything gonna be alright It’s my happy hour on sad days (on sad days) I need happy hour, I can’t wait (can't wait) I need happy hour to save me I need happy hour, I can’t wait
