I've had friends in high cotton honey
But with a little bit of love and some cable TV
But when we stop and count up our blessings
And too long for a bumper sticker
We can be happy, relatively happy
But far as I can figure
You can't retire on minimum wages
'Coz it says right here on page no.1
It takes ten fingers and a couple o' toes
Cool as a glass of iced tea
We can be happy, relatively happy
Yeah, I found out what really counts
Can't retire on minimum wages
Cool as a glass of iced tea
Happy as we wanna be
Now what I've learnt is too short for a book
Happy as we wanna be
In this whole world there ain't nothin' for sure
Cool as a glass of iced tea
Life dishes out some difficult lessons
You can't get rich in Las Vegas
Life might hit us with a couple o' blows
We can be happy, relatively happy
You can't get rich in Las Vegas
But with a little bit of love and some cable TV
Is what they don't teach in college
Yeah, with a little bit of love and some cable TV
In the book of common knowledge
And friends with beans for a bank account
