Happy Doing What We're Doing - Brinsley Schwarz

Happy doing what we’re doing

Happy doing it right

Keep on doing what we’re doing

So long as the feeling is right

Well, I was scumbag bound for a couple a days

Talked to a friend of mine

He said, I’ve got to do the thing I do do best before I lose my mind

I said man I ain’t no guru

Who am I to say what’s right or wrong?

But it might help to shed a little light on the matter if we sing this song

Well, a man he came along and told us it was wrong

To think like the way we are

We all found it funny when he told us 'bout the money

And somethin' 'bout a rock and roll star

Yeah, well I said to him, «you can’t understand, and we don’t even care if you

do.»

'Cus we got it tight, and we’re rockin' here tonight

And we’re hopin' that it’s rockin' for you

Well, her daddy got a fright at the letter she left

It cut her momma to the bone

So, they loaded themselves up on an express train

To bring the little girl back home

They finally ran into ground at a bar downtown

It was much worse than they feared

For she was up on the stand with a four piece band

And this is what they hear
