Lyrics:
The question isn't whether it's true The question--'Is it working for you?' Marshmallow skies And custardy pies And nothing's too hard to do
They're five happy verses or so They told me all I needed to know Ignore all the rest Trials and tests And threats to my comfort zone
Well I've got no time to find out what's real I stick with what I happen to feel It feels grand When you're livin' in la la land
You can name a blessing yourself Stake a claim on power and wealth And strong healthy teeth A spot at the beach And romance that's really swell
All the saints and martyrs alike Well they would have called a national strike Demanded less pain More personal gain If only they'd known their rights
CHORUS Well I take it very personally Yeah, I got to know what's in it for me Ain't it grand? When you're livin in la la land
I've got my paper cloth collection in a Jesus jar I've got the Holy Ghost ridin in the back of my car Sometimes He gives a little tickle, I go 'hardee har har' Ain't it grand, when you're livin' in la la land
My Jesus decal does quite a trick Right above my dashboard I stick it A good luck charm It keeps me from harm And saves me from speeding tickets
