Merry Happy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watching me like you never watch no one
Don't tell me that you didn't try and check out my bum
Cause I know that you did
Cause your friend told me that you liked it

Gave me those pearls and I thought they were ugly
Don't you try to tell me that you never loved me
I know that you did
Cause you said it and you wrote it down

[Chorus]
Dancing at discos
Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discos
Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

So I learnt from you
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
[Post-Chorus]
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own

[Verse 2]
Sitting in restaurants
Thought we were so grown up
But I know now that we were not the people
That we turned out to be

Chatting on the phone, can't take back those hours
But I won't regret
Cause you can grow flowers
From where dirt used to be
[Chorus]
Dancing at discos
Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

Dancing at discos
Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry, make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around

So I learnt from you
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do

[Post-Chorus]
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
(Do do do da do do...)
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own

I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
(Do do do da do do...)
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own
[Outro]
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
(Da, aah, aah, aaah...)
Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
(Da, aah, aah, aaah...)

Do do do da do do do do do do da do do do do do do da do do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Dah-dah-dah-dah, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Dah-dah-dah-dah, do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-da-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Dah-dah-dah-dah, do-do

Dah, dah, dah, dah-dah-dah-do
Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do
Daaaaaaaaaaah-a-a-a-aaaah, dah, dah, do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Merry Happy” is the 4th and final single released from Kate Nash’s debut album. It was a minor hit in the UK, US and Canada. In the US it was her second song to appear on the Bubbling Under Chart, peaking at #16.

A BBC reviewer both praised and trashed the song, complaining, “I despise it to the very depths of my black, unforgiving soul,” while adding, “with every play I sing along to more of it. I must admit that I sort of like it.”

The song was one of her earliest, and it helped Nash score a record contract. It’s about someone’s feelings about a failed relationship where the other denies it being a serious relationship and downgrades it to something less than it was.
