lyrics

Oh there is not much to say
about major chords today.
They're used in lots of songs you hear on the radio.

I use them in lots of my songs,
they're easy to strum along-
but my friend Josh Chang doesn't like them, oh no!

Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.

My friend Stephen plays the blue,
he riffs in all of his tunes.
I love him to death because he comes to all my shows.

He cant play barchords,
but he still uses major chords.
He uses them and he solos lots of notes.

Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.

You can use major chords in your songs,
and I'll even strum along,
but don't forget there are lots of other chords too!

Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.
Oh, oh major chords, major chords.

I want to go, go, go
where the cacti grow
and the rocketships fly into the sky.

There are hula hoops
and chocolate candies
to help me remain happy-e-e-o.

Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.

I want to see, see corporate media
because it's cute and fuzzy.
I want to paint, paint the pictures in my head,
and make sure I have numerous colors oh!

Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.

There are so many things,
that I want to do.
It's too bad I don't have any time or money.
I guess I'll be ok,
as long as I stay sane
and continue laughing at things when they're funny oh!

Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.

Well the CIA has priorities,
beyond lunch dates and high fives.
I'm sure they have fun too,
but maybe its too hard and they lead terribly uneventful lives.

Oh no, it's not happy.
Oh no, it's not happy.

There are so many things,
that I want to do.
It's too bad I don't have any time or money.
I guess I'll be ok,
as long as I stay sane
and continue laughing at things when they're funny oh!

Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.
Oh, oh I'm so happy.
