Verse:

Here's a little tune that always helps you when you're blue,
Just a pretty little ditty, and you ought to learn it, too.
It will cheer you up whenever skies above are gray,
When things go wrong,
This little song
Will chase your cares away,
Away, away, and ev'rything will be okay;

Chorus:

Tra-la-la-la, what a merry world we live in,
Tra-la-la-la, all of it is yours and mine;
So wear a smile, sing a little while it's raining,
And through the clouds, ev'ry little star will shine.
Tra-la-la-la, what's a little bit of trouble?
You live and learn things are gonna turn out fine;
Just feel that way,
And ev'ry little day
Will seem like spring;
If you'll just sing,
Tra-la, tra-la-la-la-la.
