G                     D 
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
           G      D      
They don't talk or act like you do 
      G                     C      
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
                   D         G  
No they sure don't look like you  
 
G                          C 
Who, what, when, where and why everyday  
                  D 
Identify every disease  
  C                  G            C                     D 
I drew a blank in my language and latin and spanish and greek  
G                          C 
Thrown out, thrown out, so happy at first  
                            D 
I danced 'til I wore out my shoes  
    C                 G        C                       D 
Now I'm in trouble, I know it, please let me back into school  
 
Chorus: 
G                 D 
Back in the happy hunting ground  
      C              D  
Where all around are fair, fair game  
G                D 
I need the happy hunting ground  
       C                       G  
'Cause all around it's not the same  
 
How to say it, and not to offend  
Well, you're still inside it's OK  
As soon as a girl leaves the refuge, out go the reason they're great  
Hips are spreading, and never a smile  
They always demand that they drive  
Well, I've got to get back inside there where at least they're alive  
 
Chorus  
 
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
They can sort of dance like you do  
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
But they just can't last like you  
 
Some are coming to learn how to read  
Others to learn how to write  
But I want a better selection it's larger but poorer outside  
 
G               D  
It's fair, fair game inside  
C               D 
It's fair, fair game inside etc. 
 
Chorus  
 
It's fair fair game inside etc.
