D D1
The Question isn’t whether it’s true,
D2 D3
The question—"is it working for you?"
G
Marshmallow skies, and custardy pies
D
And nothings too hard to do.
D D1
They’re five happy verses or so.
D2 D3
They told me all I needed to know.
G
Ignore all the rest, Trials and tests,
D
And threats to my comfort zone.
(Chorus 1) GBb
Well I’ve got no time to find out what’s real.
DDbB
I stick with what I happen to feel.
GAD
It feels grand, livin’ in la la land!
D D1
You can name a blessing yourself,
D2 D3
stake a claim on power and wealth
G
and strong healthy teeth, a spot at the beach
D
and romance that’s really swell.
D D1
All the saints and martyrs alike,
D2 D3
Well they would have called a national strike
G
Demanded less pain, more personal gain,
D
If only they’d known their rights.
(Chorus 2) GBb
Well I take it very personally,
D Db, B
Yeah I gotta know what’s in it for me.
GAD -
Ain’t it grand? when you’re living in La la land!
-(1st time only) Db, BGABE
Ain’t it grand? When you’re livin’ in La la land.
G
I’ve got my Prayer cloth collection in a Jesus Jar.
GbE
I’ve got the holy ghost riding in the back of my car.
G
Sometimes he gives a little tickle, I go "hardy har ha"
ABbAD
Ain’t it grand? When you’re livin in la la land!
DG
La, la la la, La la la la. (X 4)
(See note 1)
Jesus decal, that’s quite a trick,
Right above my dash board I stick it,
A good luck charm, it keeps me from harm,
and saves me from speeding tickets.
(Chorus 2)
Outro: DG
La, la la la, La la la la. (repeat and fade)
