Happy Families

(专辑： The Modern Bop - 1984)

Open the book of love, you will see
Many a dubious history
Of how a man met a woman and young hearts did run free
Oh well, I never met a woman that I didn't like
But only one of them has earned the right
To share my life, spend some time with me
And start a little family

Happy families
That's the way it ought to be
Happy families

In the beginning there was only me
Then I met you and suddenly
I learned the meaning of propinquity

Oh well, another generation has come to pass
Not much different from the last
They all wanna be like you and me
With their own happy family

Happy families
We're fighting for the right to be
Happy families

If you gotta bring the bacon home
Don't wanna have to eat alone
You wanna walk through the door and see
Your own happy family

We could form a dancing troupe
We could start a singing group
Endless possibilities
When I got a happy family

Happy families
That's the way it ought to be
Happy families
You need a couple of mouths to feed
Happy families
We're fighting for the right to be
Happy families

Well, if you want a happy family
You gotta work at it constantly
Let no-one come between
You and the family
