  Happy Together

                  F#m
          Imagine me and you, I do
                             E
          I think about you day and night, it's only right
                              D
          To think about the girl you love  and hold her tight
                     C#
          So happy together
  
          If I should call you up, invest a dime
          And you say you belong to me  and ease my mind
          Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
          So happy together
  
          F#              C#m              F#
          I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
                      A
          For all my life
          F#                   C#m                   F#
          When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
                      A
          For all my life
  
          Me and you and you and me
          No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
          The only one for me is you, and you for me
          So happy together

I've always loved that song, especially the "ba-ba-ba" part at the end. The Turtles were, in my opinion, one of the most musically sophisticated of the popular bands in the 60s. I've been told that several of them went on to join Frank Zappa in the Mothers of Invention. And in fact, I remember in my junior year of college listening to a Mothers album that included the abovementioned chorus from "Happy Together". Any info confirming/elaborating on all this would be appreciated!

Aloha,
Mark

Yeah, Mark, they did "Happy Together" on the Mothers' Fillmore East, 1971 a.k.a. "the pencil-front album." I have always enjoyed the Zappa with Flo and Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan) stuff.
