Oh Happy Day

"When I'm good, I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better." ~ Mae West
 
(...this one might sound good while strummin' a guitar...)

i fell in the pits and shattered to bits
i’m just a low-down clown that wears a frown
a moody, morose, weepin’ willow tree
crestfallen me is a sad sight indeed, oh

i broke my nail and i yelled like hell and
then you left to get away from the rest
of my hollerin’ and my bawlin' too,
you are a crummy dummy and ugly

to boot; I’m gonna scoot your stinkin’
jukebox off the first cliff of rocks I find,
watch it fall down and down and hit the ground,
shatter to bits and turn my frown upside

down, and mend my nail with a chunk of your
down-in-the dumps rump, oh happy day, yay.

  4. Yes, this would definitely work either as a blues song or a country hurtin' song!
