When I accepted this job
I was resigned to my fate
When I got there early
She’d arrive late

You can say she’s gone forever
Or just sit tight and wait
She said I was unprincipled
That I was not the first

Like the phoenix coming back
From the ashes, uh huh
I know what’s good
But I know what trash is

In the head lights
In the highlights of her hair
Hit the head lines
But she’s not there

Many happy returns, many happy returns
These are the lessons I could have learned
Return, many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned

Okay, I’m sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her

Like the world, spinning ’round
On it’s axis, uh huh

But I know what’s fascist

When she’s gone, all I've got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When she’s here one thing I’ve found
Things get better second time around

Return, many happy returns
These are the lessons that I could have learned
Return, many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned

Okay I’m sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her

Now she’s gone, she’s gone away
Now she’s gone forget her
Coming back another day
If you’d only let her

And now she’s gone, she’s gone away
But now she’s gone forget her
I'm coming back no other day
So why resurrect her?

Many happy returns, many happy returns
These are the lessons I should have learned
Many happy returns, many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
