The king was sitting talking To his wise men and a priest He said "I'm so unhappy And I'm searching for some peace" So they put their heads together And started thinking what to do Cause the King was turning angry And this is what he told them to do He said "Take an army, go and find me The shirt of a happy man Then my searching will be over And the people will be happy at home" So they went into the country Started searching far and wide They found a house all broken down And nothing much inside They saw a man who said, "I'm happy" Turning over the ground But his back was bare His hands were worn There was no shirt to be found So the King has lost out He never found The shirt of a happy man So his searching is over And the people will be waiting A long, long time
