Don't Worry, Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin)

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 - don't worry - ooh - be happy - 
Ooh - don't worry, be happy.
Ooh - don't worry - ooh - be happy - 
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,
Don't worry, be happy, look at me, I'm happy.

Ooh - don't worry - ooh - be happy - ooh.
Here, I give you my phone number, when you worry, call me, I make
you happy.
Ooh - don't worry - ooh - be happy - ooh.

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style, ain't got no gal to make you
smile,
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 - don't worry - ooh - be happy - ooh - don't worry, be happy.
Ooh - don't worry - ooh - be happy - ooh - don't worry, be happy.

Ooh - don't worry, don't worry, don't do it, be happy,
Put a smile on your face, don't bring everybody down.
Ooh - don't worry - ooh - it will soon pass, whatever it is,
Ooh - don't worry, be happy!
