Happy Ending

Stay where you are
Listen to me
Before you make your mind up
What the wind up oughta be

Though it used to be chic
For the songs to be bleak
The fad to be sad has been had

And though I like a blue song
Here and there
Those moody albums made to cry by
Send me nowhere

Misery may be some people's cup of tea
But, brother, not me

It makes me feel so good when I hear a happy ending
Give me a happy ending every time
It makes me feel so bad when the curtain is descending
And lovers aren't blending, that's a crime

Now in a western, the time I really love it
Is when the doctor yells, "Hot water and plenty of it"
Now if that's corny, don't ever let them stop corn
I wanna relax and eat my popcorn

So bring the girls down front when you make that final fade-out
And make that final fade-out look sublime
Let 'em rip it, let 'em rock it, leave their hankies in their pockets
I love a happy ending every time

Don't want the hero to be the one who done it
Don't want the heroine left all alone to gun it
And when the villain's bullets rips the hero's hat away
Look out, oh, they went that-a-way

So bring the girls down front when you make that final fade-out
I want that mortgage paid out every time
Let 'em rip it, let 'em rock it, put their hanky in their pocket
I love a happy ending every time

Rip it, rock it, hanky in your pocket
Happy ending every time
