A Dollar Short Of Happy

(앨범: Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection For All The Family - 2013)

A dollar short of happy
Can I get one from you?
A dollar short on Christmas
Just a smile won't do
Standing on the corner with my dog named Blue
She don't know it's Christmas
So it's down to you

City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Turn a darker gray
Than any Russian playwright would allow
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
I'm a dollar short of happy now

You pulled up to the light
The phone up to your ear
The deal has fallen through
Your job has gone
An unfamiliar look of pain
On your face then did appear
How you gonna tell the folks at home?

No more private schools
Or exercise machines
No more crazy nannies getting high in the S.U.V
Meet me on the corner
We'll get along somehow
A dollar short of happy now
Do do do...

Meet me on the corner
We'll rub along somehow
A dollar short of happy now
