Newman, Randy - Laugh And Be Happy Lyrics
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
Drown in your misery
Or you can listen to me
Listen to me
Laugh and be happy
Don't you ever wear a frown
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Laugh and be happy
It's a simple thing to do
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

I know what's going on here
Ain't no great mystery
You'll lost faith in yourselves
Clear as it can be
You can whine all you want to
Drown in your misery
Or you can listen to me

Laugh and be happy
Don't you ever wear a frown
Don't let the bastards grind you down

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
Believe me when I say
Everything is going to go your way
You be on top of the world
