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 grey
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 SUV
Meet me on the corner
We'll get along somehow
A dollar short of happy now
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Meet me on the corner
We'll rub along somehow
A dollar short of happy now
