A Happy Guy
Ricky Nelson
A Happy Guy:Ricky Nelson. #82 on BB Hot 100 on DECCA Records in 1964. INTRO: #1. Some guys like a nine to five job and a house with a white picket fence. Some guys live for that weekly pay cheque but to me it don’t make much sense. Now I don’t like a tight collar or a suit with a matching tie. I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow and that’s why I’m a happy guy. CHORUS: Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) #2. I steer clear of sweet talkin’ gals they got wedding bells on their minds. They want a guy to stay home every night but me I’m a different kind. I move when I’m ready and I don’t have to tell you why. I just grab my hat and leave where I’m at and that’s why I’m a happy guy. CHORUS: Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) #3. You can look for me when I’m passing through and I’ll stay awhile in your town. We can live it up and let the good times roll but don’t try to settle me down. No girl’s gonna chain me I was born with a rovin’ eye. And when the thrill is gone well I’ll be moving on and that’s why I’m a happy guy. CHORUS: Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) (Whoa-oh-oh-yeah) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow) (Whistling) ..(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
