Bug in a tree

(Mick Kennedy)

Some people spend their whole life dreamin'
'Bout the way things ought to be
Never took the chance
Never learned to dance
Never opened their eyes to see

But oh no
Not me
I love to sing and to dance
And it's free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me

Some people spend a lot of time thinkin'
'Bout the things they'd like to change
A little nip here
And a little tuck there
Well I think they must be deranged

But oh no
Not me
I like the way that I look
And I'm free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me

Some people spend their whole life a bitchin'
'Bout the cold and the frost and the rain
Spend all their money
On a two-week break
Then it's back to the same again

But oh no
Not me
I love the rain in my face
And it's free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me

Some people kick up a whole lot of trouble
When they just can't get their way
They spit and they cuss
And they cause such a fuss
'Till their friends all drift away

But oh no
Not me
I got my baby and my music
And it's free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me

Some people spend their whole life lying
And cheating everyone that they meet
Diving and a ducking in case somebody's looking
Living in a web of deceit

But oh no
Not me
I'm afraid that what you get is what you see
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me

Some people spend a whole lot of money
Trying to make their lives complete
They want the big house
They want the big car
They want the satellite tv

But oh no
Not me
I got the Moon and the stars
And they're free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree

Oh no
Not me
I got the Moon and the stars
And they're free
Oh no
Not me
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
I'm as happy as a bug in a tree
That's me
