FAT, SHORT AND UGLY THAT'S WHAT
MERCY WAS,
SHE COULDN'T READ OR WRITE BUT SHE
COULD SING SO WELL!
LA, LA, LA! LA, LA, LA!
SHE ALWAYS SMILED AND TOLD NO LIE,
YOU KNOW
ONCE KIDS CALLED HER A "STUPID PIG!"
BUT SHE SMILED AND WENT
LA, LA, LA! LA, LA, LA!
NOBODY CARE ABOUT "HAPPY MERCY"
'CAUSE SHE WAS JUST NOTHIN' TO THEM!
NO! NO! NO! NOBODY HATED HER BUT
NONE LOVED HER 'CAUSE
PEOPLE THOUGHT SHE WAS HAPPY
ENOUGH JUST BY HERSELF
NO! NO! NO! NOBODY HURT HER BUT
NONE HELPED HER 'CAUSE
PEOPLE THOUGHT SHE WAS HAPPY
ENOUGH JUST BY HERSELF
FLESH AND BLOOD! HEART AND VOICE!
MERCY LU!

MERCY USED TO SING IN SHINNIN' SNOW
FLAKES,
MERCY USED TO SING FOR THE SUN FLOWERS,
LA, LA, LA! LA, LA, LA!
ONE DAY GOD HEARD IT MARCY SINGIN'
AND HE LOVEED HER SO MUCH
THEN HE TOOK HER AWAY!
LA, LA, LA! LA, LA, LA!
NOW EVERYBODY REALIZED "HAPPY
MARCY" IS GONE
'CAUSE THEY COULDON'T HEAR HER
SINGIN' "LA, LA, LA!"
NO! NO! NO! NOBODY MISSED HER BUT
NONE WAS REALLY HAPPY
LIVIN' WITHOUT HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE
NO! NO! NO! NOBODY FORGET HER BUT
NONE WORRIED 'BOUT HER
'CAUSE PEOPLE KNEW SHE WAS HAPPY
ENOUGH JUST BY HERSELF
FLESH AND BLOOD! HEART AND VOICE!
MERCY LU!

EVERYBODY'S LIVIN' IN PEACE!
EVERYBODY'S LIVIN' IN PEACE!
EVERYBODY'S LIVIN' IN PEACE!
