Anything Goes movie - Be Like the Bluebird lyrics

<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>
