Well everybody got something on their mind that they like to talk about

Well I got something that I'm proud of and it's a wood choppin' about

Oh well I don't want a string of big fine cars and I don't want no fancy yacht

Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes and arms to hold me tight

And I don't care if the sun don't shine and daylight turns to night

Well if a dollar bill is not worth a dime and if the whole world goes to pot

Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got

[ guitar ]

Well I'll not worry about the world and what it's a comin' to

Or if old Lady Jones has got a new hat or if the brown had turned to blue

Well if the London Bridge is a fallen down or if old Big Ben has stopped

Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got

I got a girl with two brown eyes...

Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
