Sing for Joy

Georgie Porgie used to get real high
 He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
 He was under the bottle's command
 But one winter he got it together and
 And happiness came with the warmer weather
 Laying across all the land
 He had a love she liked to drink
 She got it together, but you know what I think?
 I think she was still feeling glum
 She got a gun and she shot him in the head
 She shot herself and so they were wed
 As the air conditioner hummed
 Sing for joy
 Sing for laughs
 Sing for joy
 Sing for joy
 If nothing else
 Sing for joy
 Mama killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet
 She put it on the table, but it was still meat
 She forgot the sugar again
 Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
 He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"
 See, he forgot the sugar again
 We had a wander seven years out West
 It wasn't exactly the wilderness
 But I felt like an Israelite
 Mama is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
 Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
 And the flames shot into the night
 Sing for joy
 Sing for laughs
 Sing for joy
 Sing for joy
 If nothing else
 Sing for joy
 I know a girl who lives on the hill
 I don't know if her sister will
 Or I was thinking about her best friend
 Oh, listen to me, I'm a desperate boy
 I think I better have a sing for joy
 And I guess this has just got to end
 I'll get away in my getaway car
 Every now and then I'll send my regards
 From a payphone down in the flats
 I'm sorry for the love, I'm sorry for the pain
 I'll say I'm sorry baby, again and again
 I'm sorry we're joining the stats
 Sing for joy
 Sing for laughs
 Sing for joy
 Sing for joy
 If nothing else
 Sing for joy
