"Laugh
and Be Happy" ~ Randy Newman
ain't
no great mystery.
Ya'll
have lost faith in yourself,
it's
as clear as can be.
You
can whine all you want to;
drown
in your misery,
but
you can listen to me.
Listen
to me.
Laugh
and be happy,
don't
ever wear a frown.
Don't
let the bastards grind you down.
Laugh
and be happy,
it's
a simple thing to do.
Believe
in your dreams and
your
dreams will come through for you.
To
be a red sun shining in the sky so blue.
Black
birds be singing in the tree. (thank you boys)
There
is a real silver lining up there for me and you.
Listen
to me.
Listen
to me.
Now
the country that we're living in,
you
mean the good old USA (thats right),
has
never been about keeping you out.
It's
about inviting you in and letting you play.
So
laugh and be happy,
don't
you ever wear a frown.
Get
back up on your feet whenever they knock you down.
You've
got to laugh and be happy,
smile
right in their face.
Because
pretty soon you're going to take their place.
Come
a whack, whack, whackin' like old man trouble,
whackin'
on their front door.
Try
to send us packin', on the double
but
we ain't going away no more.
So
laugh and be happy.
Don't
ever wear a frown.
Don't
let the bastards grind you down.
Laugh
and be happy.
Now
listen when I say,
because
everything's gonna go away.
We'll be on top of the world.
