| When life reaches out and takes you
|
| On an unpleasent ride
|
| And your bridge of dreams comes
|
| Tumblin' down
|
| Don’t let your bed of sorrow
|
| Ever conquer your pride
|
| Remember there’s always a way out
|
| Just take up a course in happiness
|
| Take up a course to clear out your mind
|
| You will show yourself how to smile
|
| Take up a course in happiness
|
| Take up a free instruction in life
|
| You will learn how to smile
|
| And when your optimism
|
| Has a set back or two
|
| And you feel all your tryin’s in vain
|
| (Your heart’s in the rain)
|
| Don’t give up the hope that’s due you
|
| Just to study your doubt
|
| Remember there’s always a way out
|
| Just take up a course in happiness
|
| Take up a course to clear out your mind
|
| You will show yourself how to smile
|
| Take up a course in happiness
|
| Take up a free instruction in life
|
| You will learn how to smile |
