| Pretend you’re happy when you’re blue |
| It isn’t very hard to do |
| And you’ll find happiness without an end |
| Whenever you pretend |
| Remember anyone can dream |
| And nothing’s bad as it may seem |
| The little things you haven’t got |
| Could be a lot if you pretend |
| You’ll find a love you can share |
| One you can call all your own |
| Just close your eyes, she’ll be there |
| You’ll never be alone |
| And if you sing this melody |
| You’ll be pretending just like me |
| The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend |
| So why don’t you pretend? |
| <instrumental interlude> |
| And if you sing this melody |
| You’ll be pretending just like me |
| The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend |
| So why don’t you pretend? |
