Anything Goes movie - Be Like the Bluebird lyrics
rate me<br>
[MOON]<br>
You know your problem, Billy? <br>
You ain't got no philosophy. <br>
It's like Dillinger once told me: <br>
"Remember, it's always the darkest <br>
just before they turn on the lights." <br>
<br>
There's an old Australian bush song <br>
That Melba used to sing, <br>
A song that always cheered me when I was blue. <br>
<br>
Even Melba said this bush song <br>
Was a helluva song to sing, <br>
So be quiet whilst I render it for you. <br>
<br>
When your instinct tells you that disaster <br>
Is approaching you faster and faster, <br>
Then be like the bluebird and sing, <br>
"Tweet tweet, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la." <br>
<br>
When you know you're headed for the jailer <br>
Don't allow the old face to look paler <br>
But be like the bluebird and sing, <br>
"Tweet tweet, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la." <br>
<br>
Be like the bluebird who never is blue, <br>
For he knows from his upbringing what singing can do, <br>
And though by other birdies in the boughs, <br>
He may be told that his efforts are perfectly lousy, <br>
He sings on and on till his troubles are through, <br>
"Tweet tweet, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la." <br>
<br>
