Presenting Clayton, Jackson and Durante |
| You gotta start off each day with a song |
| Now even when things go wrong |
| You’ll feel better, you’ll even look better |
| I’m here to tell you that you’ll be a go-getter |
| Now the way that you shake my hand |
| Will tell me how I stand |
| Now isn’t it better to go through life |
| With a smile and a song |
| Than walking around with a face 11 miles long |
| Now you know that you can’t go wrong |
| If you start off each day with a song |
| You gotta start off each day with a song |
| (Oh, sing it to me boy) |
| Even when things go wrong |
| (Sing it for the hoi-poloi) |
| You’ll feel better, you’ll even look better |
| Ah, that music it does somethin' to me |
| I wish I knew what it was |
| Last night I was telling Umbriago |
| About my latest concerto |
| Called Tony’s push cart |
| He said Tony’s push cart, how does it go |
| I said it doesn’t go you have to push it |
| Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha |
| I got a million of 'em, a million of 'em |
| Now you know that you can’t go wrong |
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes) |
| If you start off each day with a song |
| You gotta start off each, boys please, soft, soft |
| A little more fortissimo, I wanna relate a yarn |
| Turn back the pages of history and what do you see |
| Madison Square Garden, a Rodeo |
| And there I was, interviewing a prize winning cow |
| I asked her to tell the radio public how she feels |
| She said moo, she’s contented |
| I’m contented but her husband ain’t |
| So what happens? |
| The bull ups to me, I ups to him |
| And without any preliminaries, I’m flat on my back |
| Being a gentlemen I apologize nut the bull’s not satisfied |
| He demands an autopsy |
| So I grabs him by the tail and what happens |
| He flips his tail, I lands on his head |
| He flips his head, I lands on his tail |
| He’s playing ping, pong with me and I’m losing |
| Just then the bull is ready to charge again |
| I gets an idea |
| I starts singing, 'South Of The Border Down Mexico Way' |
| And what happens, the bull starts crying |
| But even regardless I keeps on singin' |
| This time with the castanets |
| That’s too much for the bull and he collapses |
| A cheer goes up, I’m saved and the moral is |
| You’ve gotta start off each day with a song |
| You gotta start off each day with a song |
| (oh boy your singing now) |
| Even when things go wrong |
| (Oh, Jimmy your a wow) |
| You’d feel better |
| You know I’m walking down Broadway |
| And who taps me on the shoulder |
| My pal, Hit 'Em In The Head Schwartz |
| I said who you working for now |
| He said the same bunch |
| The wife and the kids |
| Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha |
| Now isn’t it better to go through life with a smile and a song |
| Then walking around with a face 11 miles long |
| Now you know that you can’t go wrong |
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes) |
| If you start off each day with a song |
