All those oh! so trendy in their flapper and flair Delinquent derelict, four walls and a square Never should you worry about society The best things in this life are never free Treat this whole world to a cavalry rout And when you've had enough of go, go, go and get out CHORUS Is everybody happy? Well are you happy? Get a live-in lover, never leave her alone The lifestyle is impressive, and you've moved up a tone Circulate in circles, leave the centre at home And happy is this hero, never needing a throne CHORUS We're having a party and everyone's welcome And if you've got no friends I'm sure we'll invent some It's things and then it's places Not people and their faces It's things and then it's places Not people and their faces. And are you happy? Don't go near the water till you learn how to swim The parodies and prophecies, cataclysm Probably a proverb, like blood from a stone And happy is this hero, never needing a throne CHORUS It's things and then it's places Not people and their faces
