Thunderin' Joe, he's a good neighbor of mine
Though we don't quite see eye to eye
Claims the rapture is near, better get yo' butt in gear
Before the stars come a' tumblin' from the sky
Stonehead Bob, he's a good neighbor of mine
A thousand times I heard him say:
Heaven on high ain't but pie in the sky
That God is just a pipe dream for the fray
Well I got my own slant on life
That I'm just itching to tell
But in the name of peace, best I hold my tongue
And keep my opinions to myself
Ol' Joe and Bob, they're good neighbors of mine
Though they do jerk my chain, I confess
Once upon a time I'd be inclined to speak my mind
But now I wish them only happiness
Well I got my own slant on life
That I'm just itching to tell
But in the name of peace, best I hold my tongue
And keep my opinions to myself
Well I'm a hard-headed man of deep conviction
Seldom had a thought I did not express
Once upon a time I'd be inclined to speak my mind
But now I think it best to give it a rest
And so I wish them only happiness
I wish them happiness
Oh, happiness
I wish them happiness
