Happy House
Lyrics
This is a happy house
This is a happening house
There’s a workshop in the basement
And it’s working for us all
And the bar is always open
To those who slip and fall
If Audrey Hepburn comes for breakfast
Then Amy Winehouse stays all night
While Jimi Hendrix watches over us
As we put the world to rights
This is a happy house
This is a happening house
All the walls scream ecstasy
It oozes creativity
It’s banished negativity
Everyone is happy here
And you’re all welcome here
Everything’s been broken
Including countless hearts
But it’s the glue we’ve got to fix it
That sets us all apart
Everything we own
Has been crafted with great care
And if you need a helping hand
You will always find us there
This is a happy house
This is a happening house
A bedrock in reality
An escape from life’s insanity
A living personality
Everyone is happy here
And you’re all welcome here
And though we haven’t got a pot to piss in
We’ve got all that we need
It’s positive energy, dreams and schemes
On which we feast and feed
When the lost souls are all gathering
You’ll find them in our dust
Amid the scars we proudly wear
Our best years in front of us
This is a happy house
This is a happening house
And though the paint is peeling
Beneath a creaking ceiling
It’s mixed with love and feeling
And everyone is happy here
And you’re all welcome here
This is a happy house
This is a happening house
If you treat it with humility
It will grant some small stability
It will nurture each ability
And everyone is happy here
And you’re all welcome here
