Lyrics
I Whistle a Happy Tune
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid
While shivering in my shoes, I try to tell each toe
To whistle a happy tune and no one ever knows I'm afraid
The result of this deception is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well
I whistle a happy tune, and every single time
The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid
Make believe you're brave, that's the trick to take you far
You may as brave as you make believe you are
You may as brave as you make believe you are
The result of this deception is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear, I fool myself as well
I whistle a happy tune, and every single time
The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid
Make believe you're brave, that's the trick to take you far
You may as brave as you make believe you are
You may as brave as you make believe you are
