Laugh and Be Happy

I know what's going on here
 Ain't no mystery
 Y'all have lost faith in yourselves
 It's as clear as it can be
 You can whine all you want to
 Drown in your misery
 Or you can listen to me
 Listen to me
 Laugh and be happy
 It's a simple thing to do
 Believe in your dreams
 And your dreams will come true for you
 There'll be a red sun shining in a sky so blue
 Blackbirds singing in the trees
 There's a real silver lining
 Up there for me and you
 Listen to me
 Listen to me
 Now the country that we're living in
 Happy Immigrants: You mean the good ol' USA?
 That's right!
 It's never been about keeping you out
 It's about inviting you in and letting you play
 Laugh and be happy
 Don't you ever wear a frown
 Get right back on your feet
 Whenever they knock you down
 You've got to laugh and be happy
 Smile right in their face
 'Cause pretty soon
 You're gonna take their place
 They'll come whack whack whackin' like old
 man trouble
 Whacking on your front door
 They try to send you packin' on the double
 But you ain't going away no more
 Laugh and be happy
 Don't you ever wear a frown
 Don't let the bastards grind you down
 Laugh and be happy
 Now listen to what I say
 Everything's going to go your way
 You'll be on top of the world
