Happy As A Man Can Be

This is dedicated to the songs I love

Rama lama ding dong
Daddy's home after running away
From the mother, mother-in-law

He left behind a pound of clay
And a what I say
That's it, I quit, I'm moving on

Well, he walked right back
To his Spanish Harlem
For old time's sake

Little old me
I'm a traveling man
I walked halfway to paradise

Well, he looked at mama
Said, Ling Ting Tong
As he stepped by me
He said, rama lama ding dong

Mama said I can't depend on you
You better find yourself another girl
Daddy said, that's some kind of wonderful
Bye bye, baby, bye bye

I'm gonna Continental walk
Down where the boys are
Drink one mint julep
Get two pieces of bread
And make a sandwich out of
Peanut, peanut butter

Well, he looked at mama
Said, Ling Ting Tong
He looked at me and said
Rama lama ding dong

Now it's the second time around
For mom and dad
Gonna stop, yeah, fooling around
A million to one
This is love at last
I surrender, trust in me

Well, gee whiz
Take a look at his eyes
Cupid, save this tragedy

Little boy said
Just stand by me
You funny little devil

Little miss stuck up
And sleepy-eyed John
Are now back together
Buying you. S. Bonds

Little miss stuck up
And sleepy-eyed John
Are now back together
Buying you. S. Bonds

Rama lama ding dong
