about

Very simple - three acoustics, effects to make them jangly, a bass drum sound, and I quickly got the chorus.

Rather than working out some lyrics and having to find my pen and write them all down, I tried to put myself in the mindset of a person whose visitor is just like the one in the song. I had a think around that before, improvising the lyrics in the verses

I like the way this one canters along as we hear about these folks’ relationship. And the chorus is dead easy to sing along to, which is jolly handy if you like that sort of thing.

Does this song reminds you of anybody?

lyrics

Happy to see you
Happy to see you
Happy to see you
Happy to see you

You come round here
And you drink my coffee
And you eat my biscuits
And you eat my cake
Then you have more coffee
You have more biscuits
Then you sit there
And polish off my grapes

But I don’t mind because
When you come round
You tell me jokes and stories
To make me smile
You’re always silly and happy
When you come round
It helps me forget about
Life for a while

I’m happy to see you
I’m happy to see you
I’m happy to see you
I’m happy to see you

You sit there
You’ve got your muddy boots on
And it’s on my chair
But what’s the point of telling you?
Do you remember that time
You stood on the cat?
Never saw him again
Do you remember that?
It was terrible
But it was funny

I’m happy to see you...

I don’t know how you do it
I don’t know where it comes from
But you’re always so happy
So laid back
I’d like to be like you
But I’m afraid
If I tried to do it
I would fall through a crack

I’m happy to see you...

(fantastic whistle solo)

I’ve got to get on
I’ve got loads to do
I don’t want you to go
But you’ve got to, got to
If you don’t go
I won’t get any work done
Won’t have any money
To buy you biscuits

I’m happy to see you...

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
