Happy Ever After

Don`t ask me why I`m running out of laughter
There`s tears in these eyes, not happy ever after
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought the whole world could be
And I thought we`d be happy ever after.

You could say that I`m living in a pipe dream
It`s just looking back, things are never what they seem
And I hope I can safely say
And I hope most things go my way
And I hope they`ll be happy ever after.

Down in Southern Africa no happy ever after
Not now, but soon forever
While they`re sitting comfortably
In that white winter city
How can we be happy ever after?

Um by yay
Est ce le South Africa.

So don`t ask me why I`m running out of laughter
There`s tears in these eyes, not happy ever after
And I thought it was plain to see
And I thought that maybe you and me
And I thought we`d be happy ever after.

Um by yay
Um by yay
Um by yay
Est ce le South Africa.
