Josephine and johnny so hard up for money
But they strut it like they couldn't care
He said "don't worry honey leave it to the dummies.
We've got more than our fair share"

Everybody's a mess – so get on your happiness
Everybody's a mess – take nothing less
Yeah, everybody's a mess

Down in the valley lives crazy sally,
All alone with nothing to her name
She made it her obsession to burn all her possessions
But who's to say that she's the one insane

Everybody's a mess – so get on your happiness
Everybody's a mess – take nothing less
Yeah, everybody's a mess

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Everybody's a mess – so get on your happiness
Everybody's a mess – put on your sunday best
Everybody's a mess – take nothing less
Everybody's a mess

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Cause everybody's a mess – take nothing less
Yeah, everybody's a mess – so put on your happiness
Everybody's a mess - and nothing less
Everybody's a mess.
