Laugh And Be Happy Songtext / Lyric

I know what's going on here

Ain't no mystery

Y'all have lost faith in yourselves

It's as clear as it can be



You can whine all you want to

Drown in your misery

Or you can listen to me

Listen to me



Laugh and be happy

It's a simple thing to do

Believe in your dreams

And your dreams will come true for you



There'll be a red sun shining in a sky so blue

Blackbirds singing in the trees



There's a real silver lining

Up there for me and you

Listen to me

Listen to me






Now the country that we're living in

Happy Immigrants: You mean the good ol' USA?

That's right!

It's never been about keeping you out

It's about inviting you in and letting you play



Laugh and be happy



Don't you ever wear a frown

Get right back on your feet

Whenever they knock you down



You've got to laugh and be happy

Smile right in their face

'Cause pretty soon

You're gonna take their place



They'll come whack whack whackin' like old

man trouble

Whacking on your front door

They try to send you packin' on the double

But you ain't going away no more



Laugh and be happy

Don't you ever wear a frown

Don't let the bastards grind you down



Laugh and be happy

Now listen to what I say

Everything's going to go your way

You'll be on top of the world
