GIMME THE BAD NEWS

My wife said, “You’d better sit down, I’ve got some bad news.
I’m leaving you. I’ve found another man,
and, we’re moving down to Texas in the morning.
Please don’t cry, I hope you’ll understand.”

I said, “So gimme the ‘bad news,’
I thought you said you had some ‘bad news’?
And the news so far don’t sound half-bad to me.
Come on and gimme the ‘bad news’
‘cause if you’re thinking this is bad, bad news,
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?”

My boss said, “Would you step into my office?
I’m afraid I have some bad news to convey.
My brother, Jim, just moved here from Chicago and I’m giving him your job. He starts today.”

I said, “So gimme the ‘bad news,’
I thought you said you had some ‘bad news’?
And the news so far don’t sound half-bad to me.
Come on and gimme the ‘bad news’
‘cause if you’re thinking this is bad, bad news,
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?”

My mother said, “Son, it’s time you learned the bad news.
Though our love for you is true beyond compare,
we did not give you life,
you were adopted and you’re the long lost son of a well-known millionaire.”

I said, “So gimme the ‘bad news,’
I thought you said you had some ‘bad news’?
And the news so far don’t sound half-bad to me.
Come on and gimme the ‘bad news’
‘cause if you’re thinking this is bad, bad news,
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?
Tell me, why am I as happy as can be?”
