Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's not a girl who misses much
Do, do, do, do, do, do, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lyin' with his eyes, while his hands are busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife
Which he ate and donated to the national trust
[Verse 3]
I need a fix, 'cause I'm goin' down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix, 'cause I'm goin' down
[Verse 4]
Mother Superior, jump the gun
Mother Superior, jump the gun
Mother Superior, jump the gun
Mother Superior, jump the gun
Mother Superior, jump the gun
Mother Superior, jump the gun
[Verse 5]
Happiness is a warm gun (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
When I hold you in my arms (Ooh, oh, yeah)
And when I feel my finger on your trigger (Ooh, oh, yeah)
Ah, don't ya know nobody can do me no harm? (Ooh, oh yeah)
Ah, because
[Verse 6]
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm, yes it is
Gun (Happiness, bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Well, don't ya know that happiness (Happiness)
Is a warm gun, mama? (Is a warm gun, yeah) Yeah
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
