Georgie Porgie used to get real high
He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
He was under the bottle's commandBut one winter he got it together and
And happiness came with the warmer weather
Laying across all the landHe had a love she liked to drink
She got it together, but you know what I think?
I think she was still feeling glumShe got a gun and she shot him in the head
She shot herself and so they were wed
As the air conditioner hummedSing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joyMama killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet
She put it on the table, but it was still meat
She forgot the sugar againDaddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar againWe had a wander seven years out West
It wasn't exactly the wilderness
But I felt like an IsraeliteMama is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
And the flames shot into the nightSing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joyI know a girl who lives on the hill
I don't know if her sister will
Or I was thinking about her best friendOh, 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 endI'll get away in my getaway car
Every now and then I'll send my regards
From a payphone down in the flatsI'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 statsSing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joySing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
