Lyrics

VANESSA BE HAPPY

Vanessa will bless ya before you hit the ground
Now that you know, buddy, get outta town
She says “Oh my gosh”
So find another coin to toss - “Heads or tails”
Here there’s no exchange for your wages of sin
There’s no game, nothin’ to win.

Vanessa be happy, Vanessa be sad
She’s the best employee we ever had
To lawfully take her to hold and to have?
She sees when she looks
And she hears when she listens
She tastes what you cook up
Yes, I’m talkin’ ‘bout kissin’.

Hands in his pockets, he pretends to wander around
His surreptitious sunglasses, can’t hide the frown
Of a Hollywood hangover
In a god-fearing town - “Hallelujah”
Go back to your pool of fictitious lasses
Slip off your mattress and drown

Vanessa be happy, Vanessa be sad…
She reads you like a book
Yes, I know just what you’re missin’.

Vanessa will bless ya, and your partner too
She’s the Niagara Falls of the Fountains of Youth
So bask in the mist
Let yourself be kissed by the truth
Vanessa’s the gin - You’re just a sticky bottle of vermouth

Vanessa be happy, Vanessa be sad…
Take a last look
When she goes we’re gonna miss her.
