[ANN]
What’s your story?

[CAMEL]
That’s my story. Nobody wanted me

[ANN]
Why?

[CAMEL]
I have incurable fallen knees. Ugly, aren’t they?

[ANN]
I’ve seen worse

[CAMEL]
So? They threw me out

[ANN]
That’s awful! You must have been pretty sad
[CAMEL]
Sad?
WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND A FRIEND
AND THE ROAD DOESN'T SEEM TO END
AND YOU'RE LONESOME THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH
HOW CAN YA BE HAPPY?
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?

WHEN THERE'S NOTHIN' TO SHARE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DIME TO SPARE
AND THERE'S NO-ONE TO COME FOR YOU
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE SINGIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?

I’VE LOOKED AROUND AND SEEN THE SWEET LIFE EVERYWHERE
I’VE WATCHED THE COOKIE BUSHES SHININ' IN THE SUN
THE SMELL OF SWEET VANILLA LIVING BLOWS IN EVERY BREATH OF AIR
DOESN'T ANYBODY WANT ME?
DOESN'T ANYBODY CARE?

WHEN YOU'RE WRINKLED AND COLD
AND YOUR FORTUNE HAS ALL BEEN TOLD

[ANN]
AND YOU'RE NOBODY'S "I LOVE YOU"
[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE HAPPY?

[ANN]
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?

[ANN & CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?
SAD BUT TRUE

[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE

[ANN & CAMEL]
HAPPY?

[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE

[ANN & CAMEL]
SINGIN'?

[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY

[ANN]
AND RAGBAG-BAGGY
[ANN & CAMEL]
AND BLUE?
