hangin' on to what i got

well

everybody got something on their mind

that they like to talk about

well

i got something that i'm proud of

and it's a worth shoutin' about. oh well

i don't want a string of big fine cars

and i don't want no fancy yacht

well

i'm a tellin' you that i'm a happy man

and i'm a hangin' on to what i got. i got a girl with two brown eyes

and arms to hold me tight

and i don't care if the sun don't shine

and daylight turns to night. well

if a dollar bill is not worth a dime

and if the whole world goes to pot

well

i'm a tellin' you that i'm a happy man

and i'm a hangin' on to what i got. well

i'll not worry about the world

and what it's a comin' to

or if old lady jones has got a new hat

or if the brown had turned to blue. well

if the london bridge is a fallen down

or if old big ben has stopped

well

i'm a tellin' you that i'm a happy man

and i'm a hangin' on to what i got. i got a girl with two brown eyes

and arms to hold me tight

and i don't care if the sun don't shine

and daylight turns to night. well

if a dollar bill is not worth a dime

and if the whole world goes to pot

well

i'm a tellin' you that i'm a happy man

and i'm a hangin' on to what i got. well

i'm a tellin' you that i'm a happy man

and i'm a hangin' on to what i got.
