Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling blue... I'm sad, so sad, What should I do?
Well that's to bad you're sad, but you know what?
We're here for you
We've all felt down and that's ok
We've all worn a frown, ok to feel that way
But you've got some friends you can count on, yeah
Do you know what I do, when I'm feeling low?
I think of fluffy clouds and a beautiful rainbow
I like clouds, too... but here's the other half
I like to pretend that they're in my bubble bath!
That's something, it's making me laugh
That's the point, now here's what I do for the blues
I like to imagine a goose, and she's wearing high-heeled shoes
And she's wiggling (jiggling) wiggling (jiggling)
Something, I'm giggling
Are you feeling any better?
Yeah
Come on everybody let's sing it together!
We've all felt down, and that's ok
We've all worn a frown, ok to feel that way
But you've got some friends you can count on, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohh ooh oooh
You've got some friends you can count on
I've got some friends I can count on!
You've got some friends you can count on
I've got some friends I can count on!
You've got some friends you can count on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh ooh ooh!

The verses feature different characters sharing their own ways of dealing with sadness – one thinks of fluffy clouds and rainbows, another imagines a goose in high heels, and so on.
Overall, the song's message is about finding ways to cheer oneself up and about the importance of having supportive friends. While the lyrics may seem simple and childlike, they convey a universal truth that can resonate with people of all ages. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody of the song make it perfect for singing along and dancing, creating a sense of joy and togetherness.
