Christine Lavin - Happydance lyrics

No one thought he was right for you but no one dare utter that out loud when the preacher said, "speak now or forever hold your peace" an uncomfortable silence fell over the crowd Then we watched you try to make him happy as the days and weeks and months and years rolled by then one morning you woke up to find that he had left and now you cry and you cry and you cry Stop your sobbing he's an idiot we never liked him and we never understood why you fell for this stupid cretin when you are so sweet and kind and good Behind your back we are doing a happy dance (Happy Dance!) we're thrilled we never have to see him anymore be glad you are no longer tethered to the world's biggest ingrate and bore Now all you remember are the happy times that the two of you supposedly shared but all we remember is how hard you tried to please him when the truth is he barely cared We watched you lose your zest for living we're here to tell you, you can get it back he's been an unhealthy addiction think of him as potato chips dipped in chocolate and crack! Stop your sobbing he's a heartless meanie we never liked him and we never understood why you fell for this witless weenie when you are so smart so kind so good Behind your back we are doing a happy dance (Happy Dance!" we're thrilled we never have to see him anymore be glad you are no longer beholden to the world's biggest ingrate and bore Was he as bad as we've made him out to be? let's think about that . . . no, he was worse but what a stroke of luck you are no longer stuck to the human equivalent of a spooky voodoo curse Don't waste one more precious moment on someone your friends are so sick of look at what you had a little good but a lotta bad and where was the love? where was the love? Welcome back to the land of the living we missed you and are so glad you've returned now's the time to let bygones be hallelujah you are free let's be grateful for all the lessons learned Stop your sobbing he's a cheap right wing xenophobe we never liked him and we never understood why you fell for a mental snowglobe when you are so decent and kind and good Join us now in doing a happy dance (Happy Dance!) we're thrilled we never have to see him anymore be glad you are no longer married to the world's biggest ingrate and bore he's the world's bigest ingrate and bore! Happy dance!
