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