The rich man's eatin' with a golden spoon
The poor man's worried 'bout him getting to the moon
They say World War III is a-coming any day
But me, I couldn't care less either way

I ain't got time to be unhappy
I ain't got time to be unhappy
Loving you makes me wanna slap my pappy
And I ain't got time to be unhappy

The world keeps changing every day
The things in the heart stay the same old way
Rockets to the moon and filter cigarettes
Ain't had no effect on my life as yet

I ain't got time to be unhappy
I ain't got time to be unhappy
Loving you makes me wanna slap my pappy
And I ain't got time to be unhappy

So take my advice if you ever get blue
Find a little girl that just digs you
Live on love let the world be
Then you can sing my little song with me

I ain't got time to be unhappy
I ain't got time to be unhappy
Loving you makes me wanna slap my pappy
And I ain't got time to be unhappy

I ain't got time to be unhappy
I ain't got time to be unhappy
Loving you makes me wanna slap my pappy
And I ain't got time to be unhappy
