They won't play my music so I'm never coming back
I made too many boasts along the way
And it's a cold, long lonely day

Let me share your fire and I'll sing a song for you
Funny, cause I called it Happy Song
And if you won't, I'll move on

(chorus)

The songwriter can make you laugh or cry
He's pumping gas at night just to survive
And all he asks of you (is) to sing his songs
And put his name in lights where it belongs

I used to have a family, a wife and three small kids
I couldn't give them anything they needed
I guess I'm a long way from being a man

Hey there Mr. Gershwin, gone at 38
You gave so much, and yet so much to give
And I thank you for the Rhapsody In Blue
And I must confess sometimes I think I'm you.

(chorus)
