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

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
