lyrics: [Verse 1: John Lennon with Paul McCartney]
  She's not a girl who misses much
  Do do do do do do, oh yeah
  She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
  Like a lizard on a window pane
  The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
  On his hobnail boots
  Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
  Working overtime
  A soap impression of his wife which he ate
  And donated to the National Trust
  
  [Verse 2: John Lennon]
  (...down)
  I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
  Down to the bits that I left uptown
  I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
  
  [Verse 3: John Lennon with Paul McCartney]
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  Mother Superior jumped the gun
  
  [Chorus]
  Happiness is a warm gun (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
  Happiness is a warm gun, momma (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
  
  When I hold you in my arms (Ooh, oh, yeah)
  And I feel my finger on your trigger (Ooh, oh, yeah)
  I know nobody can do me no harm (Ooh, oh, yeah)
  Because
  
  (Happiness) Is a warm gun, momma (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
  Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
  Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
  Well, don't you know that happiness is a warm gun, momma?
  (Is a warm gun, yeah)
