Michael Cera Palin If It Makes You Happy Lyrics

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, play for mosquitos
And drank til I was thirsty again
We were searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and penn

Well okay, I made that up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd bring home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
(x2)

We've been long, a long away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And been everywhere in between
Well okay, we get along
But what if everything was all wrong?

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
(x2)
