Now say Bo  
Now Tony with a B  
Then “Bo-na-na fanna” and “fo”  
And then you say the name again with an “F” very plain  
Then “fee fi” and a “mo”  
And then you say the name again with an “M” this time  
And there isn’t any name that I can’t rhyme

Look at Molly now, here she comes  
Wearin’ her wig hat and shades to match  
She’s got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat  
Wearin’ her pearls and her diamond rings  
She’s got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything

Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba  
A feeling in my bones that I’ll have my way

Well I’m a happy boy (happy boy)  
Oh ain’t it good when things are going your way, hey hey

Oh, watch me go

Huh (Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Happy Jack wasn’t tall, but he was a man  
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man  
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key  
So they rode on his head in a hurry on Quay

I don’t think you’re happy enough  
That’s right, I’ll teach you to be happy  
I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs

Happy happy joy joy

My son turned ten just the other day  
He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad, c’mon let’s play  
Can you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today  
I got a lot to do”, he said, “That’s okay”  
And he, he walked away but his smile  
Never dimmed and said  
“I’m gonna be like him, yeah  
You know I’m gonna be like him”

Well, father said, “See my son coming home to me  
Coming home to me”  
Father ran and fell down on his knees  
Said, “Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me”

Hung his head and cried  
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried  
Said, “Father will you look on me as a child?”  
Yeah

Yeah, God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”  
Abe said, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”  
God said, “No”, Abe said, “What?”  
God said, “You can do what you want Abe, but  
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”  
Abe said, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”  
God said, “Out on Highway 61”

Gone to graveyards, everyone.
