HAPPY HAUNTING GROUND (Ron Mael) 3:44



Happy haunting ground, happy haunting ground

They don't talk or act like you do

Happy haunting ground, happy haunting ground

No they sure don't look like you



Who, what, when, where and why everyday

Identify every disease

I drew a blank in my language

And latin and Spanish and Greek

Thrown out, thrown out so happy at first

I danced 'til I wore out my shoes

Now I'm in trouble I know it

Please let me back in to school



Back in the happy haunting ground

Where all around are fair, fair game

I need the happy haunting ground

'Cause all around it's not the same



How to say it, and not to offend

Well, you're still inside it's OK

As soon as a girl leaves the refuge

Out go the reason they're great

Hips are spreading, and never a smile

They always demand that they drive

Well, I've got to get back inside there

Back where at least they are alive



(CHORUS)



Happy haunting ground, happy haunting ground

They can sort of dance like you do

Happy haunting ground, happy haunting ground

But they just can't last like you



Some are coming to learn how to read

Others to learn how to write

But I want a better selection

It's larger but poorer outside



It's fair fair game inside etc.



(CHORUS)



It's fair fair game inside etc.
