Happy Family 02:32
Think about us. It's either now or never. What more can we ask for? More pain? A lot more of pleasure? If you just think about me, it could get so much better What more will she ask for? A little more long-term retention How could this happen to me, why doesn't she...? Just dream about us! It might just last forever. What more will he ask for? More lies? Like your flawless complexion. If you just think about me, could you storm the weather? There'd be nothing left to ask for! Just pain and no more pleasure. How could this happen to me, why doesn't he...? La, la la la la la, la la, la la etc..... We're a happy family! (We're a happy family!) Why we're a happy family! (We're a happy family?) Are we a happy family? (We're a happy family!) We're so lucky to be happy.... We'll work it out! Come tomorrow? We'll work it out! Through whose pain and sorrow? We'll work it out! Oh these next lines that follow..... How could this happen to me, why don't we.... La, la la la la la, la la, la la etc..... We're a happy family! (We're a happy family!) Why we're a happy family! (We're a happy family?) Are we a happy family? (We're a happy family!) We're so lucky to be happy.... Can't you see that we're a happy family!

He suffers from a problem which makes the man of the eighties; massive lips and a desire to make lots of money. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. I kid myself. I parade around in a corporate suit with a Tootsie Roll in my right hand. Kiss, kiss my love.... And we dance.... Oh, not again! And we prance.... Oh, not again! He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. He's orally (oh no!) fixated (hey girl!) A corporate man (oh baby!) I am. "Just forget" she says. "It's neglect." He's spent. "Resent" he protests. A little voice, "Oh baby maybe that's why?!"

I want to be somebody just like you. I want to be, but just can't be, somebody just like you. But the distance, yes, the distance, is growing between me and you. She's got.... penis envy! He's got.... pussy wussy envy! She's got.... penis envy! He's got.... pussy wussy envy! Oh no! When your appearance no longer bears any relation to the ideal. When your appearance no longer bears any relation to the ideal. Not quite like.... oh no! Not quite like.... you! She's got.... feeble sense! He's got.... squeaky tendons! She's got.... plumpy penguins! He's got.... flashin fishfins! Can't you see I just can't be somebody like you? If I could be somebody just like you.... Just like you.... I'm just like....
