And you don't have to be sad anymore
(I'm gay, I'm gay)
It sells records when you're sad these days
La la la
La la la
Now you hate your parents 'cause the way you turned out
I think rock 'n' roll is really funny when it's serious
You don't have to be mad anymore
Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
In fact, can we get some la la's up in here please?
We can all join hands
Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful
Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Pick up the phone 'cause Bowling For Soup is on the line
I think rock 'n' roll is really funny when it's serious
And do 'Ring Around The Freaking Rosie'
And if you don't know where to start
But in the end, the blame's on you
And if you're hearing what I'm saying
Let's start a movement, let's start it right now
Put your left hand over your heart and repeat after me
Well, we've all heard about how the guys in the band
"Chris, Gary", "Yeah, buddy?", "You guys wanna join in?"
I can show you, I'm your new team captain
(Yo, where my la la's at?)
Then I want you to say I'm gay, say I'm gay, whoo
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
It's super cool to be mad these days
And if you're hearing what I'm saying
La la la
Then I want you to say I'm gay, say I'm gay, whoo
It sells records when your sad these days
"Very nice, very nice"
And we all sympathize with your torn apart heart
Or if we go the extra mile
“Sure”, "Oh, man, sorry dude"
Or if we go the extra mile
(I'm gay, I'm gay)
Don't hate us if we make you smile
It's super cool to be mad these days
And your really artistic worldly views
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
Don't hate us if we make you smile
"It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual"
Weren't the popular kids in school
Don't hate us 'cause you're miserable
That's right ladies and gentlemen
To make someone feel better on a really shitty day
