Alan Beynon Said

Alan Beynon said If you're happy and you know it Put your hands on your ears Hear what you want to hear You will never have to fear Rejection again Everybody else can There's no obligation to Say where you're going to Know where you're coming from You will come out in the front And know where you are You'll know where you are You can waste A lifetime in haste Waiting for what's been promised To show its face Then it's much too late You should wake up and take up Sleeping out of the house That makes you fall out of line It's the part of me that will never change It's so hard to explain But you get used to the coins in your boots And when everyone stares You don't even care If you're happy and you know it Put your hands on your ears Hear what you want to hear You will never have to fear Rejection again Everybody else can If you're happy and you know it You don't really have to show it God already knows it I'll never be a poet But I'll sing to myself Listen to myself Happiness was something I missed With my head swimming 'round Someone else's dream And not my ravine Just to wake up with nature is greater You go where you like Just get on your bike Hey diddle-dee-dee It's a hobo's life for me The food's as free as me And the birds We have learned Not to hear You don't wipe away tears With your hands on your ears If you're happy and you know it Put your hands on your ears Hear what you want to hear You will never have to fear Rejection again Everybody else can If you're happy and you know it Hear what you want to hear If you're happy and you know it Hear what you want to hear If you're happy and you know it Hear what you want to hear Thank you Alan
