Meet a girl I met Carolina
Her parents jumped off Niagra Falls
She broke her hips when she was a baby
Trying to hop the Berlin wall
It's not that she's anti-American
Although she shot a mayor at nine
He looked just like the prez on tv
But didn't know in '63 he had died
Does she think that this world is all wrong
Does she think I'll rob her and run
When I ask her she gets her gun
And simply says scat boy scat scat
But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina
Look at the birdie in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
And isn't it wonderful to be alive
So original in her black lipstick
Listening to some obscure band
That's okay she's helping the environment
By sipping pure water and such
Then she screams we better start thinking about
The ozone layer while tossing out a styrofoam cup
Does she think this world's all wrong
Does she think I'll rob her and run
When I ask her she gets her gun
And simply says scat boy scat scat
But isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina
Look at the birdie in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
And isn't it wonderful to be alive
Real deep shit on her mind
'Let's kill the world take over everything'
She says, 'We don't need politicians
They breed mistrust
And as a matter of fact did you steal my purse?'
Yeah, but isn't it a wonderful world, Carolina
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
So isn't it wonderful to be alive
Huh isn't it beautiful to be a
Isn't it wonderful to be alive
Fuck yeah, it's so wonderful I feel like
Dying, smiling
