i'm a pixie
  i'm a paperdoll
  i'm a cartoon
  i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
  and i light up a room
  i'm the color me happy girl
  miss live and let live
  and when they're out for blood
  i always give
    the man behind the counter looks like he's got
  a half a dozen places he'd rather be
  and furthermore it looks like he's preparedd
  to take it all out on me
  buddy, i don't really care what your problem is
  just don't make it mine
  come on kids, let's all hold hands
  and pretend we're having a good time
    maybe you don't like your job
  maybe you didn't get enough sleep
  well, nobody likes their job
  nobody got enough sleep
  maybe you just had
  the worst day of your life
  but, you know, there's no escape
  and there's no excuse
  so just suck up and be nice
    all the privileged white kids on tv
  playing at death
  brandishing their cold cuts
  with their whostly makup
  and their heroin breath
  and all the little fishes are flapping wildly
  on their hooks
  while all the top critics find great meaning
  in the telephone book
    the little emperor he has no clothes
  so he can't come out to play
  and besides which life is suffering
  and he likes it that way
  and the little guy is not so friendly
  but you know life has been cruel
  so wipe that smile off your face baby
  and try to be cool
    maybe you don't like your job
  maybe you didn't get enough sleep
  well, nobody likes their job
  nobody got enough sleep
  maybe you just had
  the worst day of your life
  but, you know, there's no escape
  and there's no excuse
  so just suck up and be nice
    yeah, i would like to perfect the art
  of being studiously aloof
  like life is just a boring chore
  and i am living proof
  i could join forces with an army
  of ornery hipsters
  but then i guess i'd be out of a job
  so i guess that's out of the picture
    cuz i'm a pixie
  i'm a paperdoll
  i'm a cartoon
  i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
  and i light up a room
  i'm the color me happy girl
  miss live and let live
  and when they're out for blood
  i always give
