Lyrics

Gary: Everything is great

Everything is grand

I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand.

Walter: Everything is perfect it's falling into place

I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face

Gary & Walter: Life's a happy song when there's someone by my side to sing along

Walter: When you're alone life can be a little rough

It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall

When it's just you well times can be tough

When there's no one there to catch your fall

Gary & Walter: Everything is great, everything is grand

I got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand

everything is perfect it's falling into place

I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face life smells like a rose

Walter: With someone to paint

Gary: And someone to pose

Gary & Walter: Life's a piece of cake

Gary: With someone to pedal

Walter: And someone to brake

Gary & Walter: Life is full of glee

Walter: With someone to saw

Gary: And someone to see

Gary & Walter: Life's a happy song when there's someone by my side to sing along

I've got everything that I need right in front of me

Nothing's stopping me

Nothing that I can't be when you're right here next to me

Baker: Life's a piece of cake

Gary: With someone to give

Walter: And someone to take

Waitress: Life's a piece of pie

Waiters: With someone to wash and someone to dry

Man: Life's an easy road

Gary, Walter, Mechanics: With someone beside you to share the load

Hippie: Life is full of highs

Asian Couple: With someone to stir and someone to fry

Butcher: Life's a leg of lamb

Gary and Walter: With someone there to lend a hand

Florist: Life's a bunch of flowers

Gary & Walter: With someone to while away the hours

Fish Mongers: Life's a fillet of fish 'ey!

Gary & Walter: Uh, yes it is

Gary,Walter and Townspeople: Life's a happy song when there's someone by your side to sing along

I've got everything that I need right in front of me nothing's stopping me

Nothing that I can't be when you're right here next to me

I've got everything that I need

Gary: Right in front of me!

Mary: Everything's great everything's grand

Except Gary's always off with his friend

It's never me and him it's always me and him and him

I wonder when it's going to end but I guess that's ok

'Cause maybe someday I know jut how it's going to be

He'll ride up on a steed and get down on one knee and say "Mary will you marry me? Please?"

Gary & Mary: I've got everything that I need right in front of me

Nothing's stopping me nothing that I can't be when you're right here next to me

Townspeople: You've got everything that you need right in front of you

Nothing's stopping you nothing that you can't do that the world can throw at you

Life's a happy song
