It's been a sad year
We must lay to rest Howard Greer
No one knows that he's dead
He seems alive and well and even Howard cannot tell
Something's gone from his head
When Howard was young, he saw that later in life
A house and a car and a pretty wife would make him happy, happy, happy
Oh so happy
'Cause you know that life is a ball when you know that it's all guaranteed
To make you happy
Times along the way
He wasn't quite sure
His little paper world would keep him secure
But doubts no longer fill his mind because he's happy
Howard thinks he's happy
