  			     G                         D7     G 
The rich man's eatin' with the golden spoon 
                                D7 
The poor man's worry'n bout 'en gettin' to the moon 
         G                    C           G 
They say World War Three is a commin' any-day 
                             D7     G 
But me, I couldn't care less either way 
 
 
   (Chorus) 
 
I ain't got time to be un-happy 
  D7 
I ain'y got time to be un-happy 
G                         C       G 
Lovin' you makes me wanna slap my pappy 
                        D7    G 
And I ain't got time to be un-happy 
 
 
                         D7     G 
The world keeps changin; every day 
                                D7 
But things in my heart stay the same old way 
G                       C           G 
Rockets to the moon and filter cigarettes 
                          D7      G 
Ain't had no effect on my life as yet 
 
 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
                          D7       G 
So take my advise if you ever get through 
                         D7 
Find a little girl that just needs you 
G                      C    G 
LIve on love, let the world be 
                         D7       G 
Then sing my little ole song with me 
 
 
   (Repeat Chorus)
