Don't Worry Be Happy
Count Dee's Hit Explosion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
(Don't worry, be happy now)
Don't worry
Be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry
Be happy
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 land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
(Look at me I am happy)

Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy

Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no girl 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)

Don't worry
Be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry
Be happy
Don't worry, be happy

Now there is this song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry
You make it double
But don't worry
Be happy, be happy now

Don't worry
Be happy
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry
Be happy
Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this

Don't worry
It will soon pass whatever it is




Don't worry, be happy
I'm not worried, I'm happy
