Lyrics
- There a feeling in the air
It’s here and there and everywhere
That tells us all to be happy
Skies of grey are blue again
Prosperity is due again
If happy you would be
Here’s the recipe
Chorus:
Cheer up and smile
Cheer up and smile
Good times are coming to stay
Just keep swinging along
Singing this song
I don’t give a continental
Cheer up and smile
Cheer up and smile
Sing your troubles away
Every day’s a holiday
If you cheer up and smile
Cheer up and smile
Cheer up and smile and be gay
- Even tho’ your luck is bad
And there are moments when you’re sad
I know just how to be happy
Light your face up with a smile
And just be cheery all the while
And then it won’t be long
You will sing this song
