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

You can whine all you want to
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
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

    Laugh And Be Happy
    Randy Newman
    Album: Harps and Angels

    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
    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
    A simple thing to do
    Live in your dream
    And your dream will come true for you

    Be a red sun shining
    In a sky so blue
    Blackbirds singing in the trees
    Be 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 U.S.A.
    That's right
    It's never been about keeping you out
    It's about inviting you in
    And letting you play

    So laugh and be happy
    Smile right in our face
    Pretty soon you're gonna take our place

    I'm a wackin', wackin', wackin'
    Like old man trouble
    Wackin' on their front door
    Going to send you packin'
    On the double
    You ain't going away no more

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