He's a fine figure of a man and handsome too
With his eyes upon the secret places he'd like to undo
Still he knows who knows who and where and how
And I hope you're happy now
He's got all the things you need and some that you will never
But you make him sound like frozen food, his love will last forever
Still he knows what you want and what you don't allow
And I hope that you're happy now
I hope that you're happy now like you're supposed to be
And I know that this will hurt you more than it hurts me
He's acting innocent and proud still you know what he's after
Like a matador with his pork sword, while we all die of laughter
In his turquoise pajamas and motorcycle hat
I hope you're happy now because you'll soon put pay to that
I knew then what I know now, I never loved you anyhow
And I hope you're happy now
I knew then what I know now, I never loved you anyhow
And I hope you're happy now
And I hope you're happy now
And I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope that you're happy now
With his eyes upon the secret places he'd like to undo
Still he knows who knows who and where and how
And I hope you're happy now
He's got all the things you need and some that you will never
But you make him sound like frozen food, his love will last forever
Still he knows what you want and what you don't allow
And I hope that you're happy now
I hope that you're happy now like you're supposed to be
And I know that this will hurt you more than it hurts me
He's acting innocent and proud still you know what he's after
Like a matador with his pork sword, while we all die of laughter
In his turquoise pajamas and motorcycle hat
I hope you're happy now because you'll soon put pay to that
I knew then what I know now, I never loved you anyhow
And I hope you're happy now
I knew then what I know now, I never loved you anyhow
And I hope you're happy now
And I hope you're happy now
And I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy now
I hope that you're happy now

This is just what it appears to be: a bitter, spiteful post-breakup song that mocks his ex's new boyfriend whiletelling her she deserves what she's about to get.
I heard that it was written for Cosello's (first) ex wife.
