Happiness Cocktail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[B]Bil[E]ly's Bar and Grill.
I liked the sound of the name,
and it looked cool inside
and reasonably clean.
[Db]As I went in,
the first thing that caught my eye
was a men -only [Ab]sign.
This seemed fair enough,
so I sat down and began indulging
[Ab]one of my favorite [C]hobbies,
[Db]that of eavesdropping on strangers.
You talk about dreams.
I had a dream a couple
[Db]nights ago.
Trapped, I was single. My face.
Oh, I had to open my big mouth
and tell my old lady.
[Db]She starts in.
[Eb]She could have married [Db]this one,
she could have married that one,
diamonds she'd been wearing,
mink she'd been wearing,
and then my mother -in
She starts [Eb]in, you know. I
[Ab]told you so.
[G]If you'd only listened to me.
That kind of talk.
All that yakking, you'd think [C]I wasn't bringing in my 42 [G].50 regular
like clockwork every week the [C]way they, [Eb]the way [Ab]they...
[Db]Wow -wee!
Hey, Billy, do you see what
I see?
What's the matter?
Didn't you [Ab]guys ever
see a [Db]pretty girl before?
[Eb]Not in no [Db]men's bar, ain't.
Yeah,
what about your rule, Billy?
Rule schmool.
[G]This dame's got class.
[D]She is obviously [G]a lady,
a lady, a lady
[D]She is obviously [G]a lady [Ab]of the first [D]de gree
[G]Here she comes.
Now watch your language,
you guys.
[D]Ahem. Something [C]for you, miss?
Yes, I believe
I'll have a happiness cocktail, [Gm]please.
A [C]happiness cocktail?
[A]I don't believe [C]I ever...
Uh, wait a minute,
I got a bartender's [Am]guide of...
You won't [F#dim]find it in a b[G]ook
You'd be more [D]apt to [G]find it in a sigh
Or [Gm]a smile [Gdim]or a lo[C]ok
[F]Meet some kindness with some [Fm]fun
[Bb]Then [Eb]add a touch of April [Ebm]sun
[Ab]Blend with[Db] a soft [F]spoken word[Bbm]
[Eb]An d when you're done
[F]I'll have a happiness cocktail
You'll have a happiness cock[C]tail
Pour [F]some laughter in your [Fm]brew[Bb]
[Eb]Plus a stolen kiss [Ebm]or two
[Ab]Then an op[Db]en f[F]ire and a drea[Bbm]m
And when [Eb]you're through
We'll [F]have a happiness [Gm]cocktail
Yes, yes, [F]yes
When [Ebm]your wife beats you just [Ab]say
My dear, [Db]you're looking
younger every day
An[C]d get t[F]hat dour l[A]ook off your f[D]ace,
you're just as [G]good as any [C]other man
[Gbdim]is.[F][Bb][Bbm]
[Eb][Ab][Abm][Db]
[F#]It made a wonderful picture.
[Bb]A beautiful girl in a [Ebm]men's bar,[Ab]
completely captivating
[Bb]all the occupants.
myself very much included.
[Gm]I was hoping she'd sing again,
[C]and she did.
This time, directly to me.
[F]If the dreams you dream
[Ab]aren't coming [Bb]true
And [Eb]hap piness seems overdue
[Ab]Give [Db]me yo[F]ur hand
and I'll [Bbm]tell you [Eb]what I'll do
[F]I'll make a happiness cocktail,
[Bb]just[Gm] for y[C]ou.[F]
