That they like to talk about
Well, I got something that I'm proud of
And it's a worth shoutin' 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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
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.
Well, I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man
And I'm a hangin' on to what I got...
