Lyrics
- Now trouble never troubles me
So that’s why I let trouble be
And when I see him come
I go the other way
But all the other folks around this place
Just seem to like to meet him face to face
My motto it, “Be cheerful while you may”, for
Chorus:
Nothing ever troubles me
My life is one big jubilee
I’m always just as happy as can be
I’ve got the sweetest disposition
If I’m rich or poor it’s just the same
There’s nobody but me to blame
So nothing, ever, ever, ever
Hardly ever troubles me
- I haven’t any motor car
To trouble me, so there you are
I never fooled with stocks
Or played an “also ran”
And when I die, I’ll be dead quite a while
So while I live I’m goin’ to laugh and smile
And fool old Mister Trouble if I can, for
