Don't  ask me why,  I'm running out of laughter,
 There's tears in these eyes,  not happy ever after.
 And I thought..  it was plain to see
 And I thought..  the whole world could be
 And I thought..  we'd be happy ever after.
You  could say that..  I'm living in a pipe  dream,
 It's just looking back,  things are never what they  seem.
 And I hope..  I can safely say
 And I hope..  most things go my way
 And I hope..  they'll be happy ever after.
  Down  in Southern Africa..  no happy  ever after,
  Not now,  but soon... forever.
  While they're sitting comfortably
  In that white  winter city
  How can..  we be happy ever after?
  Um  by yay
  Est ce le South Africa
So  don't ask me why..  I'm running out of laughter,
 There's tears in these eyes,  not happy ever after.
 And I thought..  it was plain to see
 And I thought..  that maybe you and me
 And I thought..  we'd be happy ever after.
Um  by y-aa-y Um by y-----y  Um by y-aa-y Um by y----y  Um by y--y
 Est ce le South Africa
Um  by y-aa-y Um by y-a-a-a-y Um by y-aa-y Um by y--a-a-a-y- Um by yay
 Est ce le South Africa.
