Lyrics
Cool Beans
©2015 Ggreg Snyder
Cool beans, I'm happy for you
Cool beans, what else can I do
wish you the best, get on with my life?
just like Thelma Lou and Barney Fife
I'll give a tip of my hat, act like a gent, cool beans
Harumpf, no biggie for me
I want you to be in felicity
You won't hear me cry, I'll never moan
like Diane Chambers and Sam Malone
I'll ride off into the old sunset, Harumpf
P-shaw, it didn't work out
a full grown man ain't gonna pout
The pros just didn't outweigh the cons
Just like Pinky Tuscadero and the Fonz
I won't bring up your name to mutual friends, p-shaw
P-shaw, Harumpf, Cool beans...
