Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy

1988

Here′s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry, you make it double
Don′t worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy

Ain′t got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
But don′t worry, be happy
Look at me, I'm happy

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Can I give you my phone number
When you worry, call me, I'll make you happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Ain′t got no cash, ain′t got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don′t worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry, your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don′t worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, be happy

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, don't worry, don′t do it, be happy (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don′t worry, it will soon pass, whatever it is (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't worry, be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I′m not worried (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm happy
