Happiness
Is A Warm Gun
(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles - from “The Beatles” (White Album, 1968)
She’s not a girl who misses much.
Do do do do do do, oh
yeah
She’s well acquainted
with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a
window pane.
The man in the crowd
with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes
while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of
his wife which he ate
And donated to the
National Trust.
I need a fix ‘cause I’m going down.
Down to the bits that
I left uptown.
I need a fix ‘cause
I’m going down.
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump
the gun
Mother Superior jump
the gun
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Happiness is a warm
gun
(bang, bang, shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm
gun
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger
on your trigger
I know nobody can do
me no harm
Because happiness is
a warm gun.
Yes it is.
