Whenever I’m unhappy I sing a little song Banish grey skies far away Till good things come along And if I’m feeling weary In sadness or despair I just open up my heart Till love is in the air I get a chill An intoxicant thrill That I just adore Romance surrounds me I feel like I’m walking Through Heaven’s door Open up to life and embrace it Stare each problem down and erase it You better believe it It’s so good for your soul When you sing a happy song Yeah! I had a little blue bird Upon my window sill He was chirping merrily His happy little trill And when I heard that blue bird I left my cares behind I realised there and then my woes Are just a state-of-mind Don’t fill your life up with Doom and with gloom Melancholy girl Be like a rose when it’s Starting to bloom Let yourself unfurl Open up to life and embrace it Stare each problem down and erase it You better believe it It’s so good for your soul When you sing a happy song I see my life like an uncharted melody Stretching on ahead I couldn’t be pessimistic or negative I might as well be dead! Open up to life and embrace it Stare each problem down and erase it Expand your horizons And break out of that mould Just give it a try and live Before you get old! You better believe it It’s so good for your soul When you sing a happy song
