Lyrics The King Who Couldn't Dance (the Worry Song) - Gene Kelly

The King Who Couldn't Dance (the Worry Song)

If you worry,
if you worry,
if you bother your head.
(I do.)
It won’t help you,
it won’t help you,
it will hurt you instead.
(It will?)
Crabjures, bawlers, cranks and moaners
they’re so unfair.
(I know)
If you can’t be gay and merry
lock yourself in solitary.
Though it hurt you,
though it hurt you,
be a pleasanter guy.
You may even learn to like it,
if you give it a try.
(I try)
You could laugh and sing and dance and gay be as an elf,
but don’t expect to get much help if you don’t help yourself
