Lyrics

Happiness, Missouri

[Chorus]

While away, while someone counts the minutes

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

By the way, I told you we were in this

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

[Chorus]

While away, while someone counts the minutes

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

By the way, I told you we were in this

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

[Verse]

People are nice, they go easy on ice, but

I'm on the Sun today

I'm out of reach

Try to pinch my cheeks

'Cause you're makin' me wanna sob

[Chorus]

While away, while someone counts the minutes

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off

By the way, I told you we were in this

Happiness, Missouri, I got to get your mind off
