Lyrics
Stay where you are, listen to me
Before you make your mind up
What the windup ought to be
Though it used to be chic
For the end to be bleak
The fad to be sad has been had
Or do you like your drama
Oh, so stark that when the
Lights go on where are you?
Still in the dark
Misery may be some people’s cup of tea
But brother, not me
Chorus
It makes me feel so good
When I see a happy ending
Give me a happy ending ev’ry time
It makes me feel so bad
When the curtain is descending
And lovers aren’t blending that’s a crime
In a western the time I really love it
Is when the doctor yells
“Hot water and plenty of it”
If that is corny, don’t ever let ’em stop corn
I wanna relax and eat my popcorn
So make me feel real good
When I see the final fade out
I want that mortgage paid out ev’ry dime
Wanna yip it, wanna yock it
Leave my hankie in my pocket
And see a happy ending ev’ry time
Chorus
It makes me feel so good
When I see a happy ending
Give me a happy ending ev’ry time
It makes me feel so bad
When the curtain is descending
And lovers aren’t blending that’s a crime
In a western the time I really love it
Is when the doctor yells
“Hot water and plenty of it”
If that is corny, don’t ever let ’em stop corn
I wanna relax and eat my popcorn
So make me feel real good
When I see the final fade out
I want that mortgage paid out ev’ry dime
Wanna yip it, wanna yock it
Leave my hankie in my pocket
And see a happy ending ev’ry time
Yip it, yock it, ev’rybody rock it
Happy ending ev’ry time
