So Damn Happy - Loudon Wainwright III

The sad thing is I’m so damn happy

Who’d blame her if she were to slap me?

The sun should not shine when there’s rain

I should be in a lot more pain

At least I should feel slightly crappy

But the sad thing is I’m so damn happy

And the worst thing is it’s so much better

And that admission would upset her

But it’s true and it’s beyond belief

What I feel is sheer relief

I may regret the day I met her

And the worst thing is it’s so much better

It’s comic that it’s all so tragic

It’s that humdrum novel 'Old Black Magic'

Let’s have a laugh after we cry

Let’s hope we live before we die

The silly clowns, red noses running

And it’s tragic that it’s all so funny

It’s crucial that it doesn’t matter

Vows of love are idle chatter

To feel this good has to be bad

I’m so damn happy that it’s sad!

Dear listener, would you like to slap me?

And the sad thing is I’m so damn happy

Yes the sad thing is I’m so damn happy
