| 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
|
| (whistle)
|
| You may as brave as you make believe you are.
