I Hope You're Happy

Hoodoo Gurus · Gold Watch: 20 Golden Greats [2012]

I have a friend that's gone and joined some crazy new religion

He's so caught up that he don't know which way is up

You know the saying that there no saint like a former sinner

Well he's evangelizing everyone he meets

Including me



I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

I hope it makes you, feel real good

I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

Even then you better, knock on wood

Yeah you better just, knock on wood



Another girl I know loves hanging with cosmetic sugeons

She's on a first name basis with a cutting edge

(Ah Aah Aaaaah) Now shes adicted to the thrill of multiple precedures

(Ah Aah Aaaaah) looks in the mirror and she doesn't see herself

But there's no one else



I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

I hope it makes you feel real good

I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

even then you better, knock on wood

I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

I hope it makes you feel real good

I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

even then you better, knock on wood

I'm telling you, knock on wood



My neighbours getting into transindental meditation

He's found the inner piece that many of us seek

(Ah Aah Aaaaah) But i'm not cut out for that life of quiet contemplation

(Ah Aah Aaaaah) cause when I naval gaze I only turn up lindt

Well it makes you think



I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

I hope it makes you feel real good

I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

even then you better, knock on wood

Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

Well I hope you feel real good

Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

even then you better, knock on wood

I want you to, knock on wood

Just let me be, understood

I wanna be, understood

Witness, witness (witness, witness)

Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

I hope it makes you feel real good

Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)

Hope it makes you happy, happy

I want you to, I want you to, be happy

Are you happy? I hope you're happy
