Don't ask me
why I'm running
out of laughter
There's tears
in these eyes
not happy ever after
And I thought
it was plain to see
And I thought
the whole world
could be
And I thought
we'd be happy
ever after
You could say that
I'm living in
a pipe dream
It's just
looking back
things are never
what they seem
And I hope
I can safely say
And I hope most
things go my way
And I hope
they'll be
happy ever after
Down in
Southern Africa
no happy ever after
Not now
but soon forever
While they're
sitting comfortably
In that white
winter city
How can we be
happy ever after
Um by yay
Est ce le
South Africa
So don't ask me
why I'm running
out of laughter
There's tears
in these eyes
not happy ever after
And I thought
it was plain to see
And I thought tha
maybe you and me
And I thought
we'd be
happy ever after
Um by yay
Um by yay
Um by yay
Um by yay
Um by yay
Est ce le
South Africa
